feat(wc): refactor to use commander for CLI argument parsing

- Migrate from manual argv parsing to commander.js for robust flag handling
- Add support for -l (lines), -w (words), -c (bytes) flags
- Refactor calculateFileStats to return object with descriptive properties
- Rename printFormattedLine to printReport for clarity
- Improve flag detection: default to all columns when no flags provided
- Maintain totals row for multiple files
- Update error messages to match standard wc format
- Clean up JSDoc comments and code structure
