Bug Description

Currently when a snap command is used wrong, it'll just print that; e.g.,

$ snap ack
error: the required argument `<assertion file>` was not provided

it wold be a lot more helpful if it also printed the usage, e.g.

$ snap ack
Usage:
  snap ack <assertion file>

error: the required argument `<assertion file>` was not provided
