Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Just upgraded to 0.16. I noticed the --parent option with asdf set.

Now, the documentation/help text is actually clear, but from just the option, I thought it would set in the tool-version of the direct parent (which doesn't really make sense)

Describe the proposed solution

Change --parent in --parents

Describe similar `asdf` features and why they are not sufficient

asdf --parent

Describe other workarounds you've considered

Research direction: This feature request asks to rename the ` parent` flag to ` parents`. The implementation requires updating the flag definition in Go source files, likely under the `cmd/` directory, and updating corresponding help text and documentation. There are no linked pull requests or assignees, so the issue is available. Review the existing flag handling and ensure all references (including help strings and error messages) are updated. The issue's comments may provide additional context on maintainer preferences.
