bpo-26510 in 3.7.0a2 changed the behavior of argparse to make
subparsers required by default, returning to the behavior of 2.7
and 3.2. The behavior was changed in 3.3 to be no longer required.
While it might make more sense to have the default to required,
compatibility with 3.3 through 3.6 is probably less disruptive
than trying to reintroduce compatibility with 2.7 at this point.
This change restores the 3.6 behavior.

This adds support for parsing a command line where options and positionals are intermixed as is common in many unix commands. This is paul.j3's patch with a few tweaks.
Output of func(*args) stored in the next line:
item_help = join([func(*args) for func, args in self.items])
_Section.items only used by HelpFormatter._add_item() and it looks
like it doesn't have any side effects.
Patch by Yogesh Chaudhari.
Before, if a default was set on the parent parser, any default for that
variable set via set_defaults on a subparser would be ignored. Now
the subparser set_defaults is honored.
