Feature Request: Yargs parser configuration

[arbue]

The yargs package allows to configure the args parser to change the default behavior. https://github.com/yargs/yargs/blob/main/docs/advanced.md#customizing

It would be good if we could also pass the configuration via the ProgramOptions to yargs.

I have a concrete case for this in our project. We have options which are in camelCase e.g."--helloWorld". The yargs parser in the default configuration adds an alias "hello-world" to the args object:

{
"helloWorld": "Greetings",
'hello-world': "Greetings"
}

This can be avoided with the yargs parser config 'strip-dashed': true

For now I have patched the createYargsInstance() method like:

    createYargsInstance() {
         // omitted
        yargs.parserConfiguration({
            'strip-dashed':true
        });
        // Non-configurable options
          // omitted
    }

Apparently this breaks the autocompletion function. Maybe there is a better way...

But I think this feature is also useful to others as well. So long story short maybe the ProgramOptions can be extended with the yargs parser config options and pass it to the yargs parser.
