feat(argtype): :alone - the value of an option written without one

An optional argument has three values: the default (the name is absent),
the argument type's :alone value (the name is written alone), and a
written value.

:alone is declared by the argument type only, never by a klammer's
parameter declaration -- a default is what one klammer means by silence,
but a bare option name must read the same way in every klammer.  The bool
type declares :alone true, which is the whole of the convention that a
bare boolean option means true; there is no boolean special case in the
engine.  A type whose pattern matches running text cannot declare :alone,
since an option's value runs to the next bar or option name and would
swallow the following text.

kdesc and `ktext -m` now show [default: X] and [alone: Y] per argument
type.

In the Standard Klammer Set: @code :number becomes a bool (it was an
untyped string tested only for truthiness, so a bare :number was a
no-op); decimal_mark declares :alone comma; table_hline and table_vline
declare :alone all.  The 35 bools that default false gained the bare form
for free.

Tests: tst/alone_test.sh (21 cases) joins the shipped suite.

# alone_test.sh — Regression tests for an argument type's :alone value.
#
# An optional argument has three possible values, not two:
#
# 1. the option name is not written at all -> the default
# 2. the name is written alone, with no value -> the type's :alone value
# 3. the name is written with a value -> that value
#
# The :alone value is declared by the argument type (@@@argtype ... :alone),
# never by a klammer's parameter declaration. A default is what a klammer
# means by silence and is properly per-klammer; a bare option name must read
# the same way in every klammer, or a writer cannot know what it means
# without consulting each signature.
#
# The bool type declares :alone true, which is where the convention that a
# bare boolean option means true comes from. This is a declaration like any
# other type's, not an engine special case for booleans.
#
# A type whose pattern matches running text cannot declare an :alone value:
# an option's value runs to the next bar or option name, so ":opt some words"
# would take "some words" as the value and the alone value would never be
# reached. That is a definition-time error.
#
# Engine tier: these tests run with -k none and define their own argtypes
# and klammers inline, so they do not depend on the Standard Klammer Set.
#
# Usage: ./alone_test.sh (LSan suppressions come from env/runtime.env)
# Exit code: 0 if all tests pass, 1 otherwise.
