Previously it dumped it in human-readable form, but that seems intrinsically unreadable.
That much data exists to be grepped over, so might as well make it JSON, and allow it
to be jq'd too.
Note: Removes the
--help-allflag, as that might imply that it can act as a modifier, e.g., that./pants test --help-allwould show you "all the test help", whatever that might mean.We want to gently emphasize that "all means all". Of course you can still do
./pants help-all test, so this is just a small nudge. I'd rather not error in this case.Also adds support for
./pants versionto do the same thing as./pants --versionetc.[ci skip-rust-tests]
