Bug Report or Feature Request (mark with an x)

- [ ] bug report -> please search issues before submitting
- [x] feature request

Area

- [ ] devkit
- [x] schematics

Desired functionality

Currently the only way to check the available parameters for a schematics is by looking into its json schema file.
It would be great to have a way in the CLI to display the list of params, like this:
schematics @schematics:schematic --schema

Copied from original issue: angular/devkit#311

   It seems like the proper flag for this would be --help. Of course, --help is used for something else now, but perhaps schema help should be incorporated into that.

   It would indeed be nice to give some helpful output rather than just a default message like this:

   • schematics @schematics/angular:application --help

   schematics [CollectionName:]SchematicName [options, ...]
   
   By default, if the collection name is not specified, use the internal collection provided
   by the Schematics CLI.
   
   Options:
       --debug             Debug mode. This is true by default if the collection is a relative
                           path (in that case, turn off with --debug=false).
       --allowPrivate      Allow private schematics to be run from the command line. Default to
                           false.
       --dry-run           Do not output anything, but instead just show what actions would be
                           performed. Default to true if debug is also true.
       --force             Force overwriting files that would otherwise be an error.
       --list-schematics   List all schematics from the collection, by name.
       --verbose           Show more information.
   
       --help              Show this message.
   
   Any additional option is passed to the Schematics depending on

    Thank you for submitting your feature request! Looks like during the polling process it didn't collect a sufficient number of votes to move to the next stage.

    We want to keep Angular rich and ergonomic and at the same time be mindful about its scope and learning journey. If you think your request could live outside Angular's scope, we'd encourage you to collaborate with the community on publishing it as an open source package.

    You can find more details about the feature request process in our documentation.
