When running `puppet parser validate path/to/bolt/plan.pp` it failed until i passed in `–tasks`, which was not present in the `–help` output of `puppet --help` or `puppet parser --help` or `puppet parser validate --help`.

Desired Behavior:

The `–tasks` parameter is shown when we pass in `--help`.
