With no search string, lists all aliases for supported Ubuntu releases.

is omitted, it will search ‘release‘ first, and if no matches
are found, it will then search ‘daily‘. can be a
partial image hash or an Ubuntu release version, codename or
alias.
```
`multipass find snapcraft:` is a valid command, so the help message for the argument should not limit remotes to `release` and `daily`. Perhaps adding `snapcraft` to the message is enough for now.
Additionally, there should be brackets around `` in `[]` (as is already the case in the "usage" message.
