Issue body
This might apply to other commands, but I noticed it here. First, running the command successfully:
$ snapcraft extension kde-neon
The KDE Neon extension.
This extension makes it easy to assemble KDE based applications using the Neon
stack.
... etc etc snipped ...
$
However, if I want to run the very same command verbosely (which I should be able to, yes?):
$ snapcraft extension --verbose kde-neon
Starting Snapcraft 7.1.1.post16+gitc34b9478
Logging execution to '/home/rpjday/.cache/snapcraft/log/snapcraft-20220816-054228.857438.log'
Usage: snapcraft extension [OPTIONS] NAME
Try 'snapcraft extension -h' for help.
Error: No such option: --verbose
$
Curiously, that command recognizes "--verbose" in that it *starts* generating output verbosely, then suddenly it decides it *doesn't* like that option, and errors out. That seems inconsistent.
