[Console] Running commands with short options is broken if value contains "h"

Behat tests started failing because of this issue (see here).

The following command started displaying a help message, instead of running the test suite:

behat --no-colors -sbig_brother -fpretty --format-settings='{\"paths\": true}' features

The cause of the issue seems to be #24987 which allowed grouping short options. -sbig_brother contains the "h" letter which is treated as -h and the Application assumes it needs to display a help message:

symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Console/Application.php

           $name = $this->getCommandName($input); 
        
           if (true === $input->hasParameterOption(array('--help', '-h'))) { 
        
               if (!$name) { 
        
                   $name = 'help'; 
        
                   $input = new ArrayInput(array('command' => 'help')); 
        
               } else { 
        
                   $this->wantHelps = true; 
        
               } 
        
           }
