Add new FlagSet.Get{Int,String,...} accessor functions

If I declared a bool flag named "hello" I can now call

b, err := f.GetBool("hello")

And b will hold the value of the flag

We can see this is already done in
https://github.com/codegangsta/cli/blob/bcec9b08c7e5564f7512ad7e7b03778fe1923116/context.go
If people use the codegangsta/cli

Other projects have done it themselves using pflags (what inspired this
patch)
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/blob/cd817aebd848facda29e0befbbd6e31bf22402e6/pkg/kubectl/cmd/util/helpers.go#L176

Lets just do it ourselves...
