org.globus.gridshib.common.CommonCLI.

** Make the usage strings more informative.
* Implement new command-line options.
** Add --saml command-line option.
** Add --properties command-line option.
** Add --asn1 command-line option.

All of the previous tasks have been completed.  Here are some additional notes:

- The --saml option has contextual meaning.  In the Issuer Tool, the --saml
option is an output option, while in the Binding Tool, it is an input option.
- The same is true of the --asn1 option.
- The --infile option is optional in all cases.  Its use with the Info Tool and
Binding Tool is straightforward.  In the case of the Issuer Tool, the --infile
option refers to arbitrary XML content that is bound to the Advice element of
the assertion.
- The --config and --ssoResponse options now take a system-dependent file path
as an argument.  These options still take file URLs for backward compatibility.
- The internal representations of --infile and --outfile were changed from
String to File.
- All --help options output detailed usage strings.
- The CLI options have been summarized in a table in the new User Guide.
