--info must parse on show

Error message

--info must parse on show

What it means

Test-only assertion in show_info_parses_and_conflicts_with_inline: `dbt show --info <arg>` must parse successfully. Fires only if the --info flag on the show command is removed or its argument definition changes incompatibly.

Solutions

1. Restore the --info flag on ShowArgs
2. Check the conflicts/argument definition around show --info
3. Update the test if the flag surface intentionally changes
