Postpone options display until after entering a dash

Browse Source 
I was looking at how other programs that have an overwhelming
number of sub-commands and options deal with completion, namely
how git does it, and I liked the clean workflow not spitting every
available option until asked for. Hledger's main workflow is:

> hledger COMMAND QUERY

so I have tried to reproduce this with this change. Options are of
course still there, but not shown until you ask for them by entering
a dash on the command line. Also, the `acct:` filter proposes only top
level accounts until there is some input from the user because accounts
tend to be numerous as well.
