Several CLI commands require providing dictionary arguments. These arguments are currently provided as: --argument-name "key1=<value1,key2=value2,...>" Although the value fields are optional, it requires the user to at least provide input in the form "key=". This is not very intuitive and often confusing. In this patch we preseve the current convention of providing the dictionary arguments, but we enhance the parsing logic to also accept only keys as arguments. The values are assumed as empty strings in such cases and the appropriate dictonary is constructed and passed to the backend. So, the following new syntax is also supported: --argument-name "key1<,key2,...>" This is a backward compatible change to the CLI.
