[Bug 2042583] [NEW] apt show, info inadvertently do not support various options such as --snapshot

[Julian Andres Klode]

Public bug reported:

Most commands inherit their arguments from apt-get or apt-cache
functions, but these apt show/info (as well as apt list) are special and
do not inherit anything, this needs fixing, it also seems likely apt
list would want to support stuff like target-release that is generally
supported by apt-cache.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
