The qemu-img sub-command executes regardless of invalid global options: $ qemu-img --foo info test.img qemu-img: unrecognized option '--foo' image: test.img ...
The unrecognized option warning may be missed by the user. This can hide incorrect command-lines in scripts and confuse users. This patch prints the help information and terminates instead of executing the sub-command.
