general cleanup: removing some unused vars, updating some JSDoc tags & comments, simplified expression
description help text for arguments

- removed unused `help.bannerFor()`
- updated some JSDoc
- option defaults no longer display if default value is an empty string
- rewrote unit tests for `help.help()` function
    - the old tests made it difficult to debug since Mocha would only report truthiness
    - using the updated method, we now compare strings and can easily see any differences as reported by the assertions
    - I also elected to ignore extra whitespace here, because I want to test the content; not the `text-table` module's output.
