fix(run): Help teach about argument escaping (#16225)
### What does this PR try to resolve?
It is not obvious that how to escape arguments to be forwarded literally
to an underlying program, like `--help`.
`cargo test` has a message:
```
Run `cargo test -- --help` for test binary options.
```
Mirroring that exactly in `cargo run` isn't appropriate because we'd be
saying there is `--help` when there might not be.
Instead, I took inspiration from clap's error message:
```console
$ cargo test --gfdfgdf
error: unexpected argument '--gfdfgdf' found
tip: to pass '--gfdfgdf' as a value, use '-- --gfdfgdf'
Usage: cargo test [OPTIONS] [TESTNAME] [-- [ARGS]...]
For more information, try '--help'.
```
I checked `cargo rustc` and `cargo rustdoc` to see if they could be
helped like this but they will return errors about needing to specify
the specific binary, so they are a little more complicated.
Fixes #9707
