repo: refactor help output handling

Currently we have the behavior:
* `repo`: Equivalent to `repo help` -- only shows common subcommands
  (with short description), and then exits 0.
* `repo --help`: Shows repo's core options, lists all commands (no
  specific info), and then exits 0.

The first case is not behaving well:
* If you run `repo` without a specific subcommand, that's an error,
  so we should be exiting 1 instead.
* Showing only subcommands and no actual option summary makes it seem
  like repo itself doesn't take any options.  This confuses users.

Let's rework things a bit.  Now we have the behavior:
* `repo`: Shows repo's core options, lists all commands (no specific
  info), and then exits 1.
* `repo --help`: Shows repo's core options, shows common subcommands
  (with short description), and then exits 0.
* `repo --help-all`: Shows repo's core options, shows all subcommands
  (with short description), and then exits 0.

Basically we swap the behavior of `repo` and `repo --help`, and fix
the exit status when the subcommand is missing.

The addition of --help-all is mostly for the man pages.  We were
relying on `repo help --all` to generate the repo(1) man page, but
that too omitted the core repo options.  Now the man page includes
all the core repo options and provides a summary of all commands.
