test(bargs): add custom theme test and c8 ignore comments

- Add test for bargs() accepting custom theme option
- Add c8 ignore comments to untestable code paths:
  - Unreachable TypeScript error throws in command()/defaultCommand()
  - Help/version handling that calls process.exit()
  - showNestedCommandHelp(), generateCommandHelpNew(), generateHelpNew()

Coverage improved from ~80% to 88.2%
