Mechanism to customize each part displayed by showUsage

[kazupon]

If you can make an issue to explain or visually share some screenshot of desired output i can help to improve built-in showUsage usable for rolldown.

The showUsage currently provided can be customized with own customized showUsage in runMain, but there is no way to customize the built-in showUsage that citty has.

The showUsage renders the following parts via renderUsage.

• header (include, command name and versions)
• usage or sub command
• options

It would be useful to have a mechanism to custom render each of these parts, so that the logic of showUsage does not have to be reused.

In the rolldown use case, we would like to customize only the header.

Hi. Sure we can think of some kind of text AST structure to allow hooking into and modifying the output 👍🏼

In the rolldown use case, we would like to customize only the header.

I want to investigate this first although. Can you share the desired header change? If it is more beautiful, i am up to simply update the default usage to it so not going to the customization path :)
