The calculator now takes `^` (or `**`) for powers and `%` for modulo. Powers bind tighter than a sign on their left and group to the right, so `-2^2` is `-4` and `2^3^2` is `512`; `%` sits with `*` and `/` and takes the sign of the divisor. A small parser of our own replaces `go/parser`, which cannot express `^`; `go/constant` still computes.
A whole-number exponent is exact; a fractional one is computed in float64. Every number is held as a fraction under 4096 bits, and a float64 result must be a normal double, so one message cannot stall the bot; anything else gets "That needs a number too large or too small for me."
Disclosure: tiny values below about 2.2e-308, which `next` answered, are now refused.

`cmd/simplexcalc/` now holds only `main.go`, whose body is one call, `os.Exit(cli.Main(version))`, as the Go style guide requires. The command tree and the `run` and `version` commands moved unchanged into `internal/cli`, with tests for `version` and for an unknown command. Output streams, exit statuses and the `-X main.version` build flag are as before.
Disclosure: the comment in `execute` saying cobra has already printed the error is false, since the root command silences cobra's errors; it moved unchanged and is left for a follow-up.
