Issue body
### What needs to get done
Craft cli should filter out hidden commands in the "See also" text [here](https://github.com/canonical/craft-cli/blob/bca0d663438c4a1e5818707c56da03460db8308f/craft_cli/helptexts.py#L477-L479).
### Why it needs to get done
Because we show hidden (deprecated or removed) commands in snapcraft:
```bash
> snapcraft extensions --help
Usage:
snapcraft extensions [options]
...
See also:
expand-extensions
list-extensions
> snapcraft list-extensions
The 'list-extensions' command was renamed to 'extensions'.
Recommended resolution: Use 'extensions' instead.
```
