Require "parse" subcommand when calling

We intend to add more functionality to this tool, so it no longer makes
sense to have the error parsing functionality at the top level when
calling the script.

This change introduces (and requires) a new "parse" subcommand, under
which the existing parsing function is moved.

Because we're using argparse to do this, we also get a new "--help" flag
on the command.
