This change is to make sure that the non-optional generic parameter type is chosen for @Argument and @Option properties that provide a default value. Previously, an optional type might be chosen depending on how the help parameter was spelled, due to strange overload resolution. In particular, using the .init caused selection of the deprecated optional overload:

// Unexpected:
// Infers `Value` as `Optional<AbsolutePath>`
@Argument(help: .init("The path"))
var path = AbsolutePath("/")

// Expected:
// Infers `Value` as `AbsolutePath`
@Argument(help: "The path")
var path = AbsolutePath("/")

This addresses the issue by marking the deprecated overloads as disfavored. rdar://102383455
