Print CLI errors as one line instead of a stack trace (closes #102)
check / check (push) Successful in 1m13s

An error a command throws now reaches the user as one `quak: MESSAGE`
line on stderr, and the CLI exits 1 once output has drained. The wrapper
moved from bin/quak.ts to src/cli-run.ts so it can be tested, and
bin/quak.ts awaits program.parseAsync() so async actions are awaited.
