### Purpose
This was lost / replaced when introducing the "version" command.
However, the documentation still lists the flag - actually under the
serve command, but that can be omitted. Common convention for CLI
programs is to accept it as a flag.
### Testing
```
$ bin/syncthing --help
Usage: syncthing <command> [flags]
Flags:
-h, --help Show context-sensitive help.
-C, --config=PATH Set configuration directory (config and keys) ($STCONFDIR)
-D, --data=PATH Set data directory (database and logs) ($STDATADIR)
-H, --home=PATH Set configuration and data directory ($STHOMEDIR)
--version Show current version, then exit
Commands:
serve Run Syncthing (default)
cli Command line interface for Syncthing
browser Open GUI in browser, then exit
decrypt Decrypt or verify an encrypted folder
