`pack` command gives wrong help message and doesn't support packing a directory #338

What needs to get done

Provide the correct parameters in the help message and provide a way to pack a directory.

Why it needs to get done

*craft pack --help says to use a part name, even though this raises an error:
```
~> testcraft pack --help
Usage:
  testcraft pack [options] <part-name>
```
There is no straightforward way for an application to override the pack command to pack a directory because the command requires loading a project file.
