cmd/cue/cmd: simplify parseArgs in preparation of proto support

The parseArgs code had some pretty complicated logic.
This now separates out the cases for normal instances
and user-selected files to avoid at least one level of
comingling.

The goal of this refactoring is to ultimately allow schema
and value files to be separated early on, which, in turn,
will allow schema values to be computed early.
Such schema will then allow value formats to be interpreted
by the type of which they will ultimately land in CUE.

This is necessary to parse protobuf, which cannot be parsed
without a schema.

Issue #5
