[Bug 1589432] Re: neutron cli puts the required parameters into option arguments group

[Akihiro Motoki]

neutron CLI is deprecated and there is no plan to change the existing
command lines except bug fixes.

It is a CLI development decision how to implement requires parameters
(positional vs option style) from various point of view. The bug
reported does not harm any features and we do not change the current
behavior anymore.

Bug description:
  In neutron cli, there are many scenario like below, some parameters
  such as --peer-ip and --remote-as are defined as required ones, but
  they are put into optional arguments group. That is wrong.

  usage: neutron bgp-peer-create [-h] [-f {json,shell,table,value,yaml}]
                                 [-c COLUMN] [--max-width <integer>]
                                 [--noindent] [--prefix PREFIX]
                                 [--request-format {json}]
                                 [--tenant-id TENANT_ID] --peer-ip
                                 PEER_IP_ADDRESS --remote-as PEER_REMOTE_AS
                                 [--auth-type PEER_AUTH_TYPE]
                                 [--password AUTH_PASSWORD]
                                 NAME

  Create a BGP Peer.

  positional arguments:
    NAME                  Name of the BGP peer to create.

  optional arguments:
    -h, --help            show this help message and exit
    --request-format {json}
                          DEPRECATED! Only JSON request format is supported.
    --tenant-id TENANT_ID
                          The owner tenant ID.
    --peer-ip PEER_IP_ADDRESS

    --remote-as PEER_REMOTE_AS

    --auth-type PEER_AUTH_TYPE
