#11390: convert doctest CLI to argparse and add -o and -f options.
This provides a way to specify arbitrary doctest options when using the CLI interface to process test files, just as one can when calling testmod or testfile programmatically.

+Added :data:`~doctest.FAIL_FAST` flag to halt test running as soon as the first
+failure is detected. (Contributed by R. David Murray and Daniel Urban in
+:issue:`16522`.)
+
+Updated the doctest command line interface to use :mod:`argparse`, and added
+``-o`` and ``-f`` options to the interface. ``-o`` allows doctest options to
+be specified on the command line, and ``-f`` is a shorthand for ``-o
+FAIL_FAST`` (to parallel the similar option supported by the :mod:`unittest`
+CLI). (Contributed by R. David Murray in :issue:`11390`.)
