server: use a command line parser

This commit adds a command line parser to the server. The parser is
useful to avoid crashing when trying to run a simple --help command and
also in the future when we will add more configuration options.

It will be really cool if the config file is optional and the user can
configure the server using the command line by appending all the
options to `ldk-server --option1 value1 --option2 value2`.
