Issue Description:

Kudos on the very helpful help text for "swift build":

$ swift-build --help
OVERVIEW: Build sources into binary products

USAGE: swift build [mode] [options]

MODES:
  -c, --configuration <value>   Build with configuration (debug|release)
  --clean <mode>                Delete artifacts (build|dist)

OPTIONS:
  -C, --chdir <path>       Change working directory before any other operation
  --build-path <path>      Specify build directory
  --color <mode>           Specify color mode (auto|always|never)
  -v, --verbose            Increase verbosity of informational output
  -Xcc <flag>              Pass flag through to all C compiler invocations
  -Xlinker <flag>          Pass flag through to all linker invocations
  -Xswiftc <flag>          Pass flag through to all Swift compiler invocations

NOTE: Use `swift package` to perform other functions on packages

I feel this can be improved by specifying what the defaults are for some of these options. For example, the default path for build-path is the current directory. The default configuration is debug.

I agree, specifying default options will be nice.
