clawbot a586e92dad refactor: move CLI code from cmd/ to internal/cli
Move all non-bootstrapping CLI code to internal/cli package.
cmd/neoirc-cli/main.go now contains only minimal bootstrapping
that calls cli.Run(). The App struct, UI, command handlers, poll
loop, and api client are now in internal/cli/ and internal/cli/api/.
