Allow to use --version --help command line arguments via TAPI #14116

Please, add the support for --version and --help CLI arguments when Gradle is running via Tooling API.

It will improve user experience of Gradle usage from within IDE, e.g. for usecases when the IDE provides CLI-like interface for Gradle invocation, see Run a Gradle task in the Run Anything window

Sorry for the late reply

This issue needs a decision from the team responsible for that area. They have been informed. Response time may vary.

This likely does not work due to the Tooling API expecting a model to be built or a task to be executed. When invoking --version it is the Gradle launcher that short-circuits and provides the info.
