Description

I was just building Quarkus with `mvnd` when I just wanted to check the `mvnd` options so I ran `mvnd --help` in another terminal.

I was surprised that a new daemon was spawned (other one was busy building Quarkus) just to print help, which seems a bit inefficient.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with `mvnd --help` and `mvnd --version` while another daemon is busy building. Trace the `mvnd` command entry point and its option handling to find where daemon startup occurs. Done means both informational options print their output without spawning a new daemon.
