Improve Client CLI help readability (#2073)

Currently the CLI `-h/--help` commad output is almost unreadable as (for
some commands) it:
- doesn't provide a short brief of what the command does.
- doesn't separate the options description in smaller paragraphs.
- doesn't use a smart wrap strategy for lines longer than the number of
columns in the terminal.
