more command-specific options
Made --from and --to command-specific options. Added generic storage for values of command-specific options, which allows removing some of the special case fields in AnnexState. (Also added generic storage for command-specific flags, although there are not yet any.) Note that this storage uses a Map, so repeatedly looking up the same value is slightly more expensive than looking up an AnnexState field. But, the value can be looked up once in the seek stage, transformed as necessary, and passed in a closure to the start stage, and this avoids that overhead. Still, I'm hesitant to use this for things like force or fast flags. It's probably best to reserve it for flags that are only used by a few commands, or options like --from and --to that it's important only be allowed to be used with commands that implement them, to avoid user confusion.
