`graphile-migrate watch --once` is hard to discover

When you run graphile-migrate --help there's no hint that watch --once exists, and the description for watch doesn't seem like what you need.

Suggestions:

  • Update the watch description so it also covers the --once use case
  • Consider adding a command alias (identical to calling graphile-migrate watch --once) to raise this to a top-level concern; e.g. graphile-migrate run-current or graphile-migrate watch-once or similar (suggestions welcome, I'm currently leaning towards watch-once)

Really it's "run all migrations plus the current migration and then exit"
Or "watch mode but without the watching..." 😉

I was just coming here to see if this'd been suggested yet! I want to graphile-migrate a thing && pg_prove to run pgTAP tests in development.

graphile-migrate current has my vote re shorter names
