bal, reg, stats: clarify report modes, output, options

Browse Source 
- try to clarify naming and meaning of balance/register report modes
  and kinds of "balance" displayed. Added balance --change and
  register --cumulative flags to clarify report modes.

- with multiple --change/--cumulative/--historical flags use the last
  instead of complaining

- register -A is now affected by -H

- options cleanups
