Fix typo in argparse docs. (GH-92691)
# Fix typo in argparse docs.

> Sometimes, when dealing with **a** particularly long argument list**s**, [...]

Mixture between plural and singular forms is incorrect. Use singular consistently since typically only a single argument list is employed. Change to:

> Sometimes, when dealing with a particularly long argument list, [...]

No issue was opened, since this is a trivial change.

Zac Hatfield-Dodds dffca9e925 bpo-26967: fix flag grouping with allow_abbrev=False (GH-14316)
The `allow_abbrev` option for ArgumentParser is documented and intended to disable support for unique prefixes of --options, which may sometimes be ambiguous due to deferred parsing.

However, the initial implementation also broke parsing of grouped short flags, such as `-ab` meaning `-a -b` (or `-a=b`).  Checking the argument for a leading `--` before rejecting it fixes this.

This was prompted by pytest-dev/pytest#5469, so a backport to at least 3.8 would be great 😄  
And this is my first PR to CPython, so please let me know if I've missed anything!

bpo-33109: argparse subparsers are once again not required by default (GH-6919)
bpo-26510 in 3.7.0a2 changed the behavior of argparse to make
subparsers required by default, returning to the behavior of 2.7
and 3.2. The behavior was changed in 3.3 to be no longer required.
While it might make more sense to have the default to required,
compatibility with 3.3 through 3.6 is probably less disruptive
than trying to reintroduce compatibility with 2.7 at this point.
This change restores the 3.6 behavior.
