Description
We show some of the available channels in the init walkthrough, and probably a few as examples in the help, but otherwise there's not a good way to find out what channels are available. We should add a way to do so.
I'm not sure what the command to do so should be. `dotnetup list` does something else (lists installed SDKs/runtimes). Maybe `dotnetup sdk show-channels` and `dotnetup runtime show-channels`?

Research direction
Start by tracing the dotnetup init walkthrough, help output, and existing dotnetup list command to understand how SDK and runtime channels are represented. Decide on a discoverable command that does not conflict with installed SDK/runtime listing, then verify that it reports the available channels for both SDKs and runtimes and add or update the relevant command tests.
