cli: trim basic help, drop invented flag, parallelize by default
Surface area, not the machinery, was the problem: 16 flags crowded the bare --help. Re-tag so basic shows only the 10 outcome-changing flags; every other flag still works behind --help=<group>. - cut --bt-metadata-timeout, an invented flag with no real counterpart. Keep its 60s magnet-metadata stall as a fixed internal default (bt.go), not a user knob. - fix the parallelism footgun: a bare `got URL` used min(split,x)=1 connection. When -x is unset, let --split drive per-host connections (capped at 16), so `got URL` gets 5 and `-s16` gets 16. An explicit -x is honored verbatim, including -x1. Locked by TestHTTPConnDefault. - -s is the per-download speed dial now, so it moves to basic; -x (a per-server cap) moves to the http group. -j help says "files at once, not connections within one file".
