The shell command uses the "\-h" option so it requires "\-?, --help" to display help.  I don't think its worth changing the "\-h" option but at the very least we should update the main accumulo help to notify the user of the difference.

>             Project: Accumulo
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
>            Reporter: Michael Miller
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Printing the help for the shell under 'accumulo' script command requires authentication.  
> {code}
> ~/sw/uno/install/accumulo-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT$ ./bin/accumulo shell -h
> Password: 
> {code}
> This is annoying because as a user I can't see what the options are to authenticate without the help (-h) option.  The help shouldn't require a username and password.
> The help for other commands seem to work fine:
> {code}
>  ~/sw/uno/install/accumulo-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT$ ./bin/accumulo init -h
> Usage: accumulo init [options]
>   Options:
>     --add-volumes
>        Initialize any uninitialized volumes listed in instance.volumes
>        Default: false
>     --clear-instance-name
>        delete any existing instance name without prompting
>        Default: false
>     -f, --force
>        force reset of the security information without prompting
>        Default: false
>     -h, -?, --help, -help
>    ...
> {code}
