Allow calling nuxt without `pages` directory

[issue link]

I’m trying to discover nuxt CLI capabilities as for every other npm lib (I wanted to know whether there is possibility to point to nuxt.config.js from other place). So I try:

  1. ./node_modules/.bin/nuxt --help (with nuxt in dependencies in package.json)
  2. nuxt --help (with nuxt installed globally)
    In both cases I get:
> No `pages` directory found. Did you mean to run `nuxt` in the parent (`../`) directory?

and nothing more 😦

It would be great to have possibility to call nuxt from any place, so it would fail on nuxt build maybe, but not on nuxt --help etc.

BTW: I have pages directory same directory as where I run nuxt --help, but same error appears… But it’s outside the scope of this issue.
