Refactor the interface

[vikstrous]

Here's my plan for a new interface:

pirate-get <action> <options>

where <action> can be one of browse, recent, search, top, categories, sorts

and <options> is everything else we already have as options.

One of the options will be -o / --output specifying a directory to output the results. This replaces --save-directory

One more new option will be -O / --output-type which can be browser, transmission, magnet, torrent, or command. If using command -o specifies the PWD and -c / --command specifies the command to execute.

This is also blocked on #44 because I don't want to risk any breakage when making this change.

I like the idea of subcommands. The arguments parsing could be done this way.

Oh, very cool. I didn't know about this.

I am not sure if this is the same enhancement, but I would like to have the ability to use pirate-get non-interactively (for scripting)

add -q = Quiet/Query/Quit , no progress, get result and quit
add -dx and -fx, show description/files for line x
add arbitrary line number not just 0
ex:
pirate-get -q "Moby.Dick (1956)" = Prints list and exits
pirate-get -q -d4 "Moby.Dick (1956)" = Prints description of result 4
pirate-get -q -f4 "Moby.Dick (1956)" = Prints files of result 4
pirate-get -q -4 "Moby.Dick (1956)" = Quietly gets result 4
