Replaces #32062 As discussed in #32062, making 'help' the default verb is not very appealing for two reasons: 1) If the verb is missing, showing a help which is pages long isn't really helpful to locate the problem. (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/32062#issuecomment-2064997158) 2) We want to reserve the right to set default verbs to be more useful ones, instead of help. E.g. 'busctl' lists all bus peers by default. So, when there are more than 2 verbs, let's instead add the list of available verbs to the "Command verb required" message, that serves as a hint. That way we try to be friendlier to users, but still make the problem obvious.
