framework/entrypoint: Fix help information for subcommands

Previously only the top level help message would ever be displayed,
this was caused by 'parse_known_commands' automatically displaying the
default help message and exiting before any of the custom plugins are
loaded. Now ensure this flag is never passed into the method.
