cmd: migrate from cobra to jpillora/opts about cue HOT 3 CLOSED

What would be the benefit from moving to jpillora's package?

One reason to use Cobra is that Cobra is used by many of the tools that CUE is likely to be used in concert with (like Kubernetes). For instance, does it use POSIX flag semantics, or Go, or something else?

Also, I prefer to use more stable packages, even if they are less desirable. This package is too young.
But it is worth considering once it stabilises. I expect the command lines options and so on to require an overhaul once they are all defined (make flags consistent). That may be a good point to consider this.

Protobuf support is on the TODO list for CUE. That may be a better focus. :)

Closing this for now. Cobra is awkward in a lot of ways, but it is familiar and under control.

The code is slowly abstracting away from it, but using something else does not make sense until there is a rewrite later.
