feat: adds ability to add or remove subtasks. Can also turn subtasks into standalone features. Also refactors the task-master.js by deleting 200+ lines of duplicate code. Instead properly imports the commands from commands.js which is the single source of truth for command definitions.

-## 1. Implement Task Listing with Filtering [done]
-### Dependencies: None
-### Description: Create a function that retrieves tasks from the tasks.json file and implements filtering options. Use the Commander.js CLI to add a 'list' command with various filter flags (e.g., --status, --priority, --dependency). Implement sorting options for the list output.
-### Details:

-## 2. Develop Task Creation Functionality [done]
-### Dependencies: 3.1
-### Description: Implement a 'create' command in the CLI that allows users to add new tasks to the tasks.json file. Prompt for required fields (title, description, priority) and optional fields (dependencies, details, test strategy). Validate input and assign a unique ID to the new task.
-### Details:

-## 3. Implement Task Update Operations [done]
-### Dependencies: 3.1, 3.2
-### Description: Create an 'update' command that allows modification of existing task properties. Implement options to update individual fields or enter an interactive mode for multiple updates. Ensure that updates maintain data integrity, especially for dependencies.
