Issue body
### What needs to get done
Remove the `help` and `version` commands in `snapcraft_legacy` and all accompanying unit tests. We can keep any existing spread tests, since these commands should work even when in a directory with a core20 snapcraft.yaml file.
### Why it needs to get done
The `help` and `version` commands in `snapcraft_legacy` are no longer used.
