wt --help should print text to terminal, instead of popping open a modal dialog ("Add a CLI executable for interacting with WT") #7258

Description of the new feature/enhancement

When I run the wt command with the --help parameter, a modal dialog is popped up containing the help text. Instead, I would expect that the help text is printed directly to the terminal and immediately returns control to the user.

The modal dialog is visually disruptive to the terminal workflow, as it appears outside the bounds of the terminal window and doesn't match the terminal styling.
