Present long/short options separated in the options table for markdown formatted help
Metadata
Current evaluation
Markdown help tables still combine short and long flags in one option cell; the maintainer’s requested separate short/long columns remains unimplemented.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The maintainer provided an explicit example of the desired three-column Markdown table. Current craft_cli/helptexts.py still emits a two-column table and combines titles such as `-h, --help`, while tests explicitly assert the old output, confirming the request is valid, narrowly scoped, and unresolved.

Issue body
IOW, we should have
```
| -v | --verbose | put stuff in verbose |
| | --verbosity | set verbosity level |
```
instead of
```
| -v, --verbose | put stuff in verbose |
| --verbosity | set verbosity level |
```
