Description

### Contributions

- [X] I have read the contribution docs, and understand what's expected of me.

### What page(s) or areas on docs.getdbt.com are affected?

We don’t have a clear docs page/section outlining the available flags and which dbt command they can use.

this seems to be a pretty important gap not covered in the docs.

- One of the suggestions was having a table listing all those options and highlighting dbt commands (and sub commands) compatibility. (and possibly also what flags are available in the ide and cli).
- another suggestion was whether we can automatically have a pr or inform the docs team whenever there’s a change/addition to the dbt --help flag.

### What changes are you suggesting?

Having a table that lists all of the flags and sub commands, what commands those flags are compatible with, and which editing tool supports those flags.
