"dotnet exec --help" should print help

See original GitHub issue

>dotnet --help says to Run 'dotnet COMMAND --help' for more information on a command. amongst other things.

Yet >dotnet exec --help only prints an error message: dotnet exec needs a managed .dll or .exe extension. The application specified was '--help'. I expect this should print usage information.

I’m using 2.1.1-preview-007094 (dotnet --version)

I wish MS engineers would not ask ‘why would I want to know’, or say things like ‘It is an advanced command that you should not need to use it’. This shows an extremely counter productive culture for MS. Just expose everything your software does.
