PoC : Apidash CLI implementation

[badnikhil]

PR Description

Initial Proof of Concept for a standalone, Flutter-free CLI for API Dash. It enables fast, terminal-based access to saved requests without opening the GUI.

Key Features

• Zero-Config: Auto-detects local API Dash workspaces across operating systems.
• Shadow-DB: Implements a "Shadow Copy" mechanism to bypass Hive file locks, allowing the CLI to function even while the Desktop application is open.
• Interactive TUI: Provides a terminal user interface for listing and selecting requests via the list command.
• Direct Execution: Supports rapid request execution via run <id> with pretty-printed JSON responses.

Core Technical Details

• Storage: Utilizes a custom StorageHelper for secure Hive box reading and automated temporary file cleanup.
• UI: Powered by mason_logger for a professional and polished CLI experience.
