Add table-format=<true|false> Argument to cbt sql Command
This PR introduces a new optional argument table-format=<true|false> to the cbt sql command.
Purpose
The table-format flag allows users to control the formatting of the SQL output:
When table-format=true (default), the output is displayed in a human-readable table format.
When table-format=false, the output is printed in raw format, making it easier to redirect to a file and use SQL functions to format or process the data programmatically.
Use Case
This enhancement is particularly useful for scripting and automation scenarios where the output of cbt sql needs to be piped or saved to a file for further processing. For example:
Additional Changes
The cbtdoc.go file was also updated using go generate to reflect the new argument in the documentation.
