Clear Command Implementation

  1. Command Interface: Added a new Clear command to the Commands enum with two options:
    - --confirm: Required flag to confirm the destructive operation (safety feature)
    - --keep-history: Optional flag to preserve git history while clearing data
  2. Comprehensive Clear Functionality: The handle_clear function performs:
    - Staging area cleanup: Clears any uncommitted changes
    - Tree data removal: Deletes all key-value pairs from the ProllyTree
    - File cleanup: Removes or clears staging and mapping files
    - Git blob cleanup: When not keeping history, runs git prune and git gc to clean up
  unreferenced objects
    - History preservation: When --keep-history is used, commits the empty state to
  preserve version history
  3. Safety Features:
    - Requires --confirm flag to prevent accidental data loss
    - Clear warning messages about the destructive nature of the operation
    - Two modes: complete cleanup vs. history-preserving cleanup
  4. User Experience:
    - Clear progress indicators showing each step
    - Helpful success messages with next steps
    - Proper error handling throughout the process

  The clear command works as follows:
  - git prolly clear --confirm: Completely removes all data and git history
  - git prolly clear --confirm --keep-history: Removes all data but preserves git commits
   for time travel

  This gives users a powerful way to reset their ProllyTree datasets while maintaining
  safety through required confirmation and optional history preservation.
