[issue46142] python --help output is too long

Victor said on github that he would prefer `--help-xoptions` to `-X help`.  It would align with `--help` and `--help-env`, but not with other `-X abc` options.  I think that `--help-X` may be better, as it uses the same form (`X`) rather than the non-word `xoptions`.

What do people think?
