Use command passed into p.Parse(...) write methods
It is currently impossible to programatically write help and usage messages for subcommands, due to parser.WriteHelp and parser.WriteUsage not taking the state of the parser into account. Check for the existence of p.lastCmd and use it for the writers when available. Enables ability to write unit tests for subcommand help.
