(struct argp_state):
Add HOOK and CHILD_HOOKS fields. Rename the PARENTS field to be CHILDREN (the most common use is initialization, so this change shouldn't have much effect). (ARGP_KEY_BEGIN, ARGP_KEY_ERROR): New macros. (argp_state_help): New function. (argp_usage, argp_error): Change arguments.
