Add support for Flask's `with_appcontext` decorator

I would like to generate documentation for dynamically generated click commands, depending on a Flask context. Running `sphinx-build` raises `RuntimeError: There is no active click context.`, while running the commands works as expected (for instance `python commands.py sub foo`)

The code consists in a `ParametrizedCommand` class that dynamically generate a list of commands. For the sake of simplicity on this snippet, this is not quite dynamical, but at least this generate the very same exception I meet with my more complex real world use case.

Removing `@with_appcontext` would make `sphinx-build` work, but I cannot do this since I need the application context in `get_command` in my real use case.

## commands.py
```python
import click
from flask import Flask
from flask.cli import FlaskGroup
from flask.cli import with_appcontext


def create_app():
    return Flask(__name__)


class ParametrizedCommand(click.Group):
    valid_command_names = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]

    def list_commands(self, ctx):
        base = super().list_commands(ctx)
        return base + self.valid_command_names

    @with_appcontext
    def get_command(self, ctx, cmd_name):
        @click.command(name=cmd_name, help=f"Help for {cmd_name}")
        def command(*args, **kwargs):
            click.echo(f"Executing {cmd_name}")

        return command


@click.group(cls=FlaskGroup, create_app=create_app)
def cli():
    ...


@cli.command(cls=ParametrizedCommand)
def sub():
    ...


if __name__ == "__main__":
    cli()
```
