Standardise wiredtiger tool and test cli arguments

      Our current CLI tools and test runners have no standardisation on arguments. This makes it challenging for developers to quickly pick up new tools. The home argument is particularly confusing. Here is what a few tools/test currently provide:

      wt tool

      -? for help
      -h for home

      run.py

      -h for help
      -D --dir for home

      test format

      bad command for help
      -h for home

      cppsuite run

      -h for help
      -H for home

      We should also document this in the wiki and coding guidelines.
