CLI utils for Pimalaya

Shared building blocks for the Pimalaya command-line tools: the pieces every CLI would otherwise reimplement, factored out behind cargo features so each binary pulls in only what it uses. Unlike the io-* protocol libraries this crate is deliberately std, since it exists to talk to a terminal, a filesystem and a human.

Features

Argument parsing glue: shared clap arguments and the ready-made completion, manual page and JSON Schema generation commands, so every binary exposes them the same way: a positional list selecting what to generate, an optional --dir to write files in, and the standard output otherwise.
Output rendering: a printer that writes command output and a reporter that writes failures, both to stdout, with optional JSON output and formatted tables.
Logging: a logger initialized from a shared verbosity flag.
Interactive input: text and password prompts, reusable value validators, and a cancellable spinner for long-running work.
Account wizards: guided collection of account settings per protocol, IMAP, SMTP, JMAP, CalDAV and CardDAV, each behind its matching feature.
Build helpers: small utilities for build scripts, such as feature and git metadata.
