The help output of all the list and show commands now explains what each
field in the output table means. The generated table will be added at the
end of the help output.
The descriptions table looks like this:
Field Description
----- -----------
Version MaxScale version
Commit MaxScale commit ID
Started At Time when MaxScale was started
Activated At Time when MaxScale left passive mode
Uptime Time MaxScale has been running
Parameters Global MaxScale parameters
The fields are now defined separately and no longer use the object keys as
the names of the values. This makes it clearer as to what the field
definition actually is. Following commits will add a description key into
each object that makes it possible to easily build help output.

The `show sessions` output now displays the servers each session is
connected to along with their connections IDs. The output format of the
data is not the most compact representation but it should make it
relatively easy to parse.
Each `show` type command that takes a resource name now also has a version
that prints all resources of that type.
Added test cases for newly added commands.
The yargs framework combined with the pkg packaging causes the executable
name to be mangled on installation. For this reason, the usage should be
explicitly added to each command.
The timestamp of the last change from passive to active is now
tracked. This, with the timestamps of the last master_down and master_up
events, allows detection of cases when MaxScale was failed over but the
failover was not done.
Currently, only a warning is logged if no new master has appeared within
90 seconds of a master_down event and MaxScale was set to active from
passive.
The last event and when the event was triggered is now shown for all
servers. The latest change from passive to active is also shown.
Making the core a module proved to bring more problems than it solved. For
the sake of simplicity in installation and code coverage reporting, the
core is now completely contained in the `lib/` directory.
Also added preliminary coverage reporting with nyc.
Minor refactoring to the core library to allow multiple calls from within
the same program.
Added --quiet option to silence output so that tests aren't so
verbose. Currently this only works on UNIX based systems.
All invocations into the common helper functions are now done through the
`maxctrl` function. This allows the program arguments to be passed to the
core as a parameter instead of reading them from global variables.
This helps with the implicit initialization that was done when the yargs
library was required which caused duplicated output.
Refactored the core functions so that they only process the argument
vector. The parsing of the argument vector is done in maxctrl.js where it
is more appropriate.
