feat: remove interactive mode for full automation support

[pchuri]

Summary

This PR removes all interactive prompts from the JIRA CLI to make it fully scriptable and automation-friendly for CI/CD pipelines.

Breaking Changes

Commands Removed:

• jira init - replaced with jira config --server <url> --username <email> --token <token>

Commands Modified:

• jira config - no longer falls back to interactive mode when no options provided
• jira issue create - requires --project, --type, --summary flags
• jira issue edit - requires at least one field flag
• jira issue delete - requires --force flag
• jira sprint list - requires --board when multiple boards exist

New Features

• --description-file <path> option for reading multi-line descriptions from files

Changes Made

Core Library

• ✅ Deleted tests/commands/init.test.js
• ✅ All 78 tests passing

Documentation

Test Plan

• Pre-commit hooks pass
• inquirer dependency successfully removed
• Configuration via CLI flags works
• Configuration via environment variables works

Migration Guide

A complete migration guide has been added in MIGRATION.md covering:

• Before/after examples for all commands

• Shell script examples

Benefits

• Scriptable: Can be used in CI/CD pipelines without hanging
• Automation-friendly: No interactive delays
• Clear: Explicit requirements shown upfront

[nitpick] The domain 'workers-hub.com' is inconsistent with other examples in the file that use 'company.com'. Consider using 'company.com' for consistency.
