#33892: Management commands with flags using action="store_false" create
possible
inverted boolean flags in call_command

-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
In any management command which parses a flag using the action
`store_false` it has an unexpected side effect when calling the management
command from the `call_command` function. When `call_command` parses the
arg it won't be taken into account the action and can create weird
inversions of the intent of the boolean.
**example:**
from the command line this will work fine:
{{{
./manage.py flush --no-input
}}}
However if called from the `call_command` with one of the recommended ways
we might expect `no_input=True` to work the same but it doesn't.
{{{
from django.core.management import call_command
call_command("flush", no_input=True)
You have requested a flush of the database.
This will IRREVERSIBLY DESTROY all data currently in the ":memory:"
database,
and return each table to an empty state.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Type 'yes' to continue, or 'no' to cancel:
call_command("flush", no_input=False) # This will continue with no input
required
}}}
I'm not sure how widespread this is but `flush` is definitely affected
