What type of PR is this?
What this PR does / why we need it:
Instead of using reflection to figure out values of fields, the doc generation interface has been extended to include everything needed to stringify a flag. Custom flags need to properly implement the interface to get the valid synopsis for flags
Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #631
Special notes for your reviewer:
Since the SliceFlags were type checked in the stringify(Flag) function it makes more sense to move those directly to the individual flags
Testing
go test ./...
Release Notes
DocGenerationFlag has bee extended and all currently defined flag type have been modified to use this interface. This allows doc generation to be customizable without having to resort to reflection
