[jira] [Created] (HBASE-24921) Add help output for shell "magic" commands

Nick Dimiduk created HBASE-24921:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Add help output for shell "magic" commands
                 Key: HBASE-24921
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24921
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: shell
            Reporter: Nick Dimiduk


The shell has a handful of "magic" commands, things like {{help}} and {{debug}}, that exist as commands in the shell, but are not implementations of the command class and have no help documentation of their own.

Let's promote them to proper commands, add a new command group, call it "shell command group", for example. This makes them discoverable. Give each of them a help documentation string with examples, as we have for the others, i.e., {{help 'help'}}.
