Description

Lifted from https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/8392#issuecomment-1219123892:
Currently:
```
$ cabal-tests --help
Invalid option `--help'

Usage: cabal-tests [-j INT] [FILE] [--hide-successes] [-v|--verbose]
[-q|--quiet] [--builddir DIR] [--with-cabal PATH]
[-w|--with-ghc PATH] [--with-hackage-repo-tool PATH]
[--with-haddock PATH] [--accept] [--skip-setup-tests]
```
I would want more information on the meaning of:
- `FILE`
- `--skip-setup-tests`
- Any non-standard behavior of `--with-PROG` options, see:
- #8401
