Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Telmate/proxmox-api-go/issues/171

In Tinyblargon/proxmox-api-go:CLI-Overhaul I have started working on a new CLI for the project using cobra. this library is commonly used to create a CLI in GO. it has build in features like "--help" making the project more accessible for new users.
The goal is to eventually replace the big switch statement in main with this new CLI.
The new CLI has to be enabled manually, this can be done by setting the environment variable "NEW_CLI" to "true".

Is this CLI rewrite usefull for the project?
If so should it be merged as one big pull request once the whole CLI is rewritten? Or create pull requests as i go?

for sure! I think that this could be the v1.0.0 release of this project?

merging in a new branch could be an option too? When finished we can merge it into main

Cobra looks like a good replacement to manage the CLI. It should give the opportunity for more test coverage which would help validate a release process.
