bazelrc common options should work with bazel shutdown

[twheys]

Description of the bug:

https://bazel.build/run/bazelrc#option-defaults

According to the documentation, in the bazelrc file, a common option should consider if the bazel command supports a cli option. However, it seems that bazel shutdown does not support this.

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

This works for all options that I've tested but here's an example:

in bazelrc:

common --use_ijars

then run bazel shutdown. The following error message will be displayed:

INFO: Reading rc options for 'shutdown' from .../.bazelrc:
  Inherited 'common' options: --use_ijars
ERROR: --use_ijars :: Unrecognized option: --use_ijars

Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

os x

What is the output of bazel info release?

6.1.0

If bazel info release returns development version or (@non-git), tell us how you built Bazel.

The documentation by default reflects the state of latest master. The functionality for common to check whether a command supports a flag will be released in 6.3.0 (#3054). 6.3.0rc1 is already available if you want to give it a try.
