Exit 0 when skip-trivial-records is used and CSV/TSV ends with blank lines (#1535) (#2146)
When the skip-trivial-records verb is in the then-chain, the CSV/TSV
record-readers now silently skip trivial (all-fields-empty) input lines
-- notably blank lines at the end of a CSV file -- instead of raising a
fatal header/data length mismatch. The user has explicitly asked for
trivial records to be skipped, so mlr now exits 0 in this case.

The verb's CLI parser sets a new ReaderOptions.SkipTrivialRecords flag,
which the CSV and TSV readers consult only on the would-be-fatal
mismatch path, so:

* Behavior without the verb is unchanged: blank lines still error.
* Genuinely ragged non-trivial records still error even with the verb.
* --allow-ragged-csv-input behavior is unchanged.

Fixes #1535.

Datatypes for parsing the Miller command line, and the flags table.

  • pkg/climain is the flag-parsing logic for supporting Miller's command-line interface. When you type something like mlr --icsv --ojson put '$sum = $a + $b' then filter '$sum > 1000' myfile.csv, it's the CLI parser which makes it possible for Miller to construct a CSV record-reader, a transformer chain of put then filter, and a JSON record-writer.
  • pkg/cli contains datatypes and the flags table for the CLI-parser, which was split out to avoid a Go package-import cycle.
