Updates to Command Line Interface Tools (Gen 2 CLI)

[nollymar]

User Story

dotCMS has a CLI that can be used in CI/CD platforms, but it can only handle pushing

• sites
• content types
• files (meaning, templates and containers too)

It would be nice if the CLI could "pull" from an existing dotCMS install into a folder

Acceptance Criteria

We need to start by recreating the legacy CLI functionality.

https://github.com/dotCMS/core/tree/master/tools/cli/commands

• content-type
• push-bundle
• push-content-types
• push-files
• push-lang
• push-site-contents
• push-sites
• site

CLI commands should look like:

dotcli site --help

# Pull all site s(should default to all)
dotcli site pull  

## writes file to demo.dotcms.com.site.json
dotcli site pull demo.dotcms.com

## push from demo.dotcms.com.site.json
dotcli site push demo.dotcms.com

Likely there will be some additional tweaks.

Hey @fabrizzio-dotCMS & @wezell, I've updated this issue based on the conversation we just had.

Next up I'll work with Fabrizzio to add some tasks with more details based on the legacy CLI features, and then we can discuss this more on the Wednesday call and call out any tweaks that need to be made as we're rebuilding this functionality with the new Java libraries.

Thanks!
