[PATCH v2 13/13] telemetry: make help command more helpful

The /help telemetry command prints out the help text for the given
command passed in as parameter. However, entering /help without any
parameters does not give any useful information as to the fact that you
need to pass in a command to get help on. Update the command so it
prints its own help text when called without any parameters.
