Move command line interfaces to use click

There's a tiny problem with this, if we move to click it doesn't seem like there's an easy way to auto-generate HTML docs from the command line interface. If this is a sacrifice we are ok with doing, let's go for it, otherwise we can:

  • Write our own HTML doc generator.
  • Use qcli (for the time being).

Ok, so click is ok? Tutorials can still be written in RST, it's just
that the auto-generated docs, like these
http://qiime.org/scripts/add_alpha_to_mapping_file.html , can't be made
(without some custom code) for click-based scripts.

The use command line interface use cases should be really simple so
HTML should be fine. We should also add a comment on the contributing
file so changes on the CLI should be reflected on the HTML CLI file.
