Initial release

A CLI like the Unix GNU rm(1) command but more modern and designed for humans. Aims to provide an rm command that feels familiar yet is safer and more user friendly. As such, this initial release:

• Supports the flags --dir (-d), --force (-f), --interactive (-i), --no-preserve-root, --recursive (-r), --verbose (-v);
• Has a new --blind (-b) flag to ignore nonexistent files and directories;
• Has a new --trash (-t) flag to move to trash instead of remove;
• Defaults to a dry run, allowing for review before removing;
• Provides suggestions for next steps, showing how you might continue;
• Supports moving to thrash, thanks to the trash crate;
• Offers an excellent CLI experience, thanks to the clap crate;
• Some opt-in backwards compatibility with rm(1);
