Description

The kafka-get-offsets script was moved to Java for the 3.7.0 release. It now inherits the CommandDefaultOptions, including "--help" and "–version". However, it does not process these arguments like other commands, and instead prints the following error:

./bin/kafka-get-offsets.sh --version
Missing required argument "[broker-list]"
...
--help                                   Print usage information.           
...   
--version                                Display Kafka version.

It should follow the behavior of other commands, which is to print the help/version without complaining about missing arguments. It should call CommandLineUtils.maybePrintHelpOrVersion somewhere during argument parsing.
