Description
Help should be the same, --testnet or not
$ ./electrum-ltc --testnet help|wc
60 60 1065
$ ./electrum-ltc help|wc
84 426 3989
$ ./electrum-ltc help signrequest|wc
24 72 834
$ ./electrum-ltc --testnet help signrequest|wc
usage: electrum-ltc [-h] [-v] [-D ELECTRUM_PATH] [-P] [-w WALLET_PATH]
[--testnet] [--nossl]
<command> ...
electrum-ltc: error: unrecognized arguments: signrequest
0 0 0
e.g., signrequest is a valid --testnet command. So help should not break.
Please see pooler/electrum-ltc#123 .

Research direction
Start by reproducing the four help commands shown in the issue and inspect the command-line argument and help handling. The issue names no files or tests, so trace how --testnet changes command parsing. Done means help output is consistent with and without --testnet, and help signrequest works in testnet mode.
