test(cli): compare parse errors with python apprise

Purpose of the change:
- Make the parse-error regression compare against installed Python Apprise instead of a hand-written expected result.
- Keep the CodeRabbit WIP artifact aligned with the parity-based behavior.

How behavior was before:
- The test asserted an expected invalid-integer error for -R not-an-int --blah.
- Installed Python Apprise actually reports the later unknown --blah option for that exact invocation.

Why that was a problem:
- The test was not a true parity check and could encode behavior that Python Apprise does not have.

What the new change accomplishes:
- Runs Go and Python Apprise with the same argument slice and compares the full CLI result.
- Restores the parser behavior required for that exact Python-compatible result.

How it works:
- Reuses the existing Python CLI test helper for the exact args.
- Compares exit code, stdout, and stderr before checking the expected Python-compatible unknown-option shape.

 ## Execution Log
 
 ### 1. Item: CR-001
-- Action: Gated unknown-option formatting to only `flag provided but not defined` parse errors and left other parse failures on their real parser error path.
+- Action: Verified the exact installed Python Apprise behavior for `-R not-an-int --blah` and updated the regression test to compare Go against Python instead of asserting a hand-written expected result.
 - Validation: `go test ./internal/cli` passed.
 - Result: DONE
