Description

swift package sdfgsdfgsdfgdfs produces following output:

swift package sdfgsdfgsdfgdfs
error: Unknown subcommand or plugin name ‘sdfgsdfgsdfgdfs’
Usage: swift package <options> <subcommand>
  See 'package -help' for more information.

But suggestion to use package -help is not helpful as it produces same suggestion:

swift package -help          
error: Unknown option '-help'
Usage: swift package <options> <subcommand>
  See 'package -help' for more information.

swift package -h or swift package --help work as expected.

This is confusing for user. Or custom long option -help is not working as expected or suggestion See 'package -help' for more information. is wrong.

Expected behavior

Or swift package -help should work or suggestion See 'package -help' for more information. should be fixed.

Actual behavior

Suggested swift package -help produces same suggestion to use swift package -help.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run swift package sdfgsdfgsdfgdfs.
  2. Run suggested swift package -help

Fix unrecognized -help flag with default command
00b4a71 
When there's a default subcommand that captures pass-through args,
only a standalone help flag should trigger help (since the flag should
otherwise go to the subcommand). This fix makes that true for single-
dash help flag names, which were previously being skipped, due to
single-dash flags being lexed as both one whole flag and as a group of
individual short flags.
