Fix ArgumentParser build failure for WASI (WebAssembly System Interface) (#794)

ArgumentParser is very useful for command-line tools that are built for wasm32-unknown-wasi and run on WebAssembly runtimes (e.g., wasmtime, wasmer, WasmKit). However, starting from version 1.6.0, the use of `DispatchSemaphore` has caused the build for wasm32-unknown-wasi to break. This change is intended to fix that issue.
