Display command description in ssh gerrit --help

Show one line description for each ssh command. Make COMMAND
argument optional, so that --help argument is not needed.

This approach is working for core gerrit commands, aliases, nested
commands and plugin's own ssh commands.

To provide a description ssh command must be annotated with
CommandMetaData annotation, i. e.:

@CommandMetaData(name="print", descr="Print greeting in different languages")
public final class PrintHelloWorldCommand extends SshCommand { ...

Syntactic sugar for command registration is provided to reflect the fact,
that both name and description are included in CommandMetaData annotation.

To register command and alias in plugin:
protected void configureCommands() {
  command(PrintHelloWorldCommand.class);
  alias("say-hello", PrintHelloWorldCommand.class);
[...]

With the outcome:
$ ssh gerrit helloworld
Available commands of helloworld are:

   print       Print greeting in different languages
   say-hello   Print greeting in different languages
