I tried using rustc --print and found the error message is very terse:

> rustc --print
error: Argument to option 'print' missing

Using an invalid option does list the valid ones:

> rustc --print help
error: unknown print request: `help`
  |
  = help: valid print requests are: `all-target-specs-json`, `calling-conventions`, `cfg`, `check-cfg`, `code-models`, `crate-name`, `deployment-target`, `file-names`, `link-args`, `native-static-libs`, `relocation-models`, `split-debuginfo`, `stack-protector-strategies`, `sysroot`, `target-cpus`, `target-features`, `target-libdir`, `target-list`, `target-spec-json`, `tls-models`

Fix rust-lang#128930: Print documentation of CLI options missing their arg

Fix rust-lang#128930. Failing to give an argument to CLI options which require it now prints something like:
```
$ rustc --print
error: Argument to option 'print' missing
       Usage:
           --print [crate-name|file-names|sysroot|target-libdir|cfg|check-cfg|calling-conventions|target-list|target-cpus|target-features|relocation-models|code-models|tls-models|target-spec-json|all-target-specs-json|native-static-libs|stack-protector-strategies|link-args|deployment-target]
                               Compiler information to print on stdout
```
