make utility executables exit with error code 0 when running --help #1001
It can be difficult to determine that all linking has been done correctly in a build environment by just looking at the generated libraries. A common pattern I've been seeing (e.g. on homebrew, conda, etc) is to run my-executable --help which seems to be expected to not have an error exit code. A quick survey of CLIs on my box confirms this pattern >50% of the time, so I propose we use it here. This is also the behavior of the surelog command.
