ghc-pkg prints an awful lot of usage information

If you misspell a command with ghc-pkg, you are rewarded with 112 lines of output. Unless you have a gigantic terminal, this will tend to mean that your actual error message will disappear entirely from view.

ghc-pkg should probably just briefly refer users to --help if they want the whole thing.
