This commit adds support for the -c/--command option to pgcli, similar to psql's behavior. Users can now execute SQL commands or internal commands from the command line and exit immediately after execution. Features: - Single command execution: pgcli -c "SELECT 1" - Multiple commands: pgcli -c "SELECT 1" -c "SELECT 2" - Long form: pgcli --command "SELECT 1" - Mixed usage: pgcli -c "cmd1" --command "cmd2" - Commands are executed sequentially - Pager is automatically disabled in command mode - Proper error handling and exit codes Tests included for all scenarios. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Address review feedback: the step decoded cmd_output into `output` but never used it (flagged by CodeQL as an unused local variable). It now asserts on the \dt column headers, which are rendered whether or not any tables exist, so the step verifies the special command actually produced its listing. Also drop the unused `as e` bindings in the TimeoutExpired handlers (ruff F841) and apply ruff format.
