./x test --help --verbose is not very discoverable and may produce excess output (consider adding --list) #140477

T-bootstrap
Relevant to the bootstrap subteam: Rust's build system (x.py and src/bootstrap)
Summary
This command lists all the different test targets that exist, however it is not very easy to find this behavior since it is not listed in the normal helptext.
Additionally, this command causes cargo to be run in verbose mode, which causes a lot of usually not interesting info to be printed.
Command used
Expected behaviour
Somewhere in the regular helptext this functionality is listed, or there is a
--list
flag that does a similar thing but doesn't run cargo in verbose mode (additionally, a--list
flag could accept an argument and only print paths matching that argument).Actual behaviour
Nothing printed by
./x test --help
says how to get a list of test paths.Bootstrap configuration (bootstrap.toml)
Operating system
Arch Linux (rolling)
