Fix parsing positional argument with nargs equal to '?' or '*' if it is
preceded by an option and another positional argument.

This allows to use positional argument with nargs='*' and without default
in mutually exclusive group and improves error message about required
arguments.

Arguments with the value identical to the default value (e.g. booleans,
small integers, empty or 1-character strings) are no longer considered
"not present".

In case of usage a long command along with max_help_position more than
the length of the command, the command's help was incorrectly started
on the new line.

* parse_intermixed_args() now raises ArgumentError instead of calling
error() if exit_on_error is false.
* Internal code now always raises ArgumentError instead of calling
error(). It is then caught at the higher level and error() is called if
exit_on_error is true.

Reproducer depends on terminal size - the traceback occurs when there's
an option long enough so the usage line doesn't fit the terminal width.
Option order is also important for reproducibility.
Excluding empty groups (with all options suppressed) from inserts
fixes the problem.

This removes the unused `name` variable in the block where `ArgumentTypeError` is handled.
`ArgumentTypeError` errors are handled by showing just the string of the exception; unlike `ValueError`, the name (`__name__`) of the function is not included in the error message.
Fixes#96548
Help for other actions omit the default value if default is SUPPRESS or
already contains the special format string '%(default)'. Add those
special cases to BooleanOptionalAction's help formatting too.
Fixes https://bugs.python.org/issue44587 so that default=SUPPRESS is not
emitted.
Fixes https://bugs.python.org/issue38956 as this code will detect
whether '%(default)s' has already been specified in the help string.

Raise an ArgumentError when the same subparser name is added twice to an
ArgumentParser. This is consistent with the (default) behavior when the
same option string is added twice to an ArgumentParser.
(Support for `conflict_handler="resolve"` could be considered as a
followup feature, although real use cases seem even rarer than
"resolve"ing option-strings.)

Also made modes containing 'a' or 'x' act the same as a mode containing 'w' when argument is '-'
(so 'a'/'x' return sys.stdout like 'w', and 'ab'/'xb' return sys.stdout.buffer like 'wb').
Fix an uncaught exception during help text generation when
argparse.BooleanOptionalAction is used with default=argparse.SUPPRESS
and help is specified.
When `allow_abbrev` was first added, disabling the abbreviation of
long options broke the grouping of short flags ([bpo-26967](https://bugs.python.org/issue26967)). As a fix,
b1e4d1b603 (contained in v3.8) ignores `allow_abbrev=False` for a
given argument string if the string does _not_ start with "--"
(i.e. it doesn't look like a long option).
This fix, however, doesn't take into account that long options can
start with alternative characters specified via `prefix_chars`,
introducing a regression: `allow_abbrev=False` has no effect on long
options that start with an alternative prefix character.
The most minimal fix would be to replace the "starts with --" check
with a "starts with two prefix_chars characters". But
`_get_option_tuples` already distinguishes between long and short
options, so let's instead piggyback off of that check by moving the
`allow_abbrev` condition into `_get_option_tuples`.
