feat(move-tasks): Implement move command for tasks and subtasks

Adds a new CLI command and MCP tool to reorganize tasks and subtasks within the hierarchy. Features include:
- Moving tasks between different positions in the task list
- Converting tasks to subtasks and vice versa
- Moving subtasks between parents
- Moving multiple tasks at once with comma-separated IDs
- Creating placeholder tasks when moving to new IDs
- Validation to prevent accidental data loss

This is particularly useful for resolving merge conflicts when multiple team members create tasks on different branches.
