Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with oad --help on Node v20.5.1 and compare the output with the @azure/oad 0.10.4 package documentation. Done means the help output lists commands such as compare alongside the existing options.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I am expecting the output of --help to list the commands like compare as shown in:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@azure/oad/v/0.10.4

Here is what I get with the stable version of Node.
