Fabrice Quenneville 5ba0f84d12 **Summary:**
This release introduces a major overhaul of the `mediacurator` command-line interface (CLI) and comprehensive updates to the documentation. The CLI has transitioned from a custom argument parsing system to utilizing Python's `argparse` and `argcomplete` libraries, greatly enhancing usability and flexibility. Due to these significant changes, the version is incremented from **0.0.13** to **1.0.1**.

- **Refactored** `tools.py` for standardized command-line argument handling using `argparse` and `argcomplete`.
- **Improved** user interaction with structured arguments and built-in help, error handling, and validation.
- **Consolidated** video detail printing logic into a reusable method within the `Video` class.
- **Enhanced** `MediaLibrary` class with better clarity, functionality, and expanded support for video formats.
- **Reorganized** `main.py` to streamline argument handling and improve error feedback.
- **Updated** `setup.py` for release preparation, including new classifiers and dependencies.

- **Revised** README.md for clarity, including structured command usage and improved descriptions.
- **Moved** and improved old documentation, removing outdated content and adding new screenshots.
- **Maintained** legacy commands for backward compatibility while enhancing usability with clear examples.

- **Removed** non-existent `bcolors` from the public API.
- **Upgraded** requirements.txt to include `argcomplete` for command-line completion.
- **Updated** docstrings and function documentation for clarity on functionality and parameters.
