Current evaluation

Closed by maintainer facundobatista as a duplicate of #187; the team decided charm/store info lookup belongs to `juju info` (like snapcraft/snap), so no `charmcraft info` command was added.

Resolution: closed superseded

Reason: Maintainer facundobatista closed the issue on 2021-06-24 citing it as a duplicate of #187, where the decision was that Juju provides the charm information functionality, matching snapcraft/snap behaviour. jameinel had already pointed to `juju info` as the existing equivalent, and no info command exists in the Charmcraft CLI today.

Issue body

We need a command that users can execute to get details about a charm. Possibly `charmcraft info <charm-name>`? Thoughts?
