feat(ui): Enhanced flag display with color coordination and clean separation

Display Enhancements:
• Added color-coordinated flag lines (bold yellow flags, dim separator)
• Enhanced bottom preview panel (3 lines → 8 lines)
• Implemented bordered box design with flag 🏴 and description 📝 emojis
• Added clean flag/description separation using AWK-based parsing
• Flag section shows ONLY bash input (e.g., -s sig)
• Description section shows ONLY explanation text
• Cyan bold for flags, green for descriptions in preview
• Handles missing descriptions with dimmed "(No description available)"

Technical Improvements:
• Modified extract_all_flags() to add ANSI color codes to output
• Enhanced browse_flags_fuzzy() preview with intelligent parsing
• Uses AWK field separator on em dash (—) for robust splitting
• Replaced xargs with sed for trimming to avoid flag interpretation
• Added fallback handling for flags without descriptions

Project Organization:
• Moved documentation files to docs/ directory for better structure

# Bash Buddy v2.1.0 - Session Complete! 🎉
## All User Requests Fulfilled
### ✅ Request 1: Fix Clipping Bug
**"the right justification is not working causing the second and most important part of syntax for commands to not appear"**
**Solution**: Recalculated width allocations with percentage-based DESC_WIDTH (40% of terminal), added min/max caps, improved spacing calculation with extra padding
**Result**: Syntax always visible, truncated with `...` only if truly needed
---
### ✅ Request 2: Color-Coordinate Syntax Elements
**"we also want the command in the syntax to be different color, and the [OPTIONS] and various syntax should be color coordinated, using like inputs with like colors to allow instant recognition of parameter types"**
**Solution**: Created `colorize_syntax()` function with consistent color scheme:
- Command names: Cyan + Bold
- [OPTIONS]: Yellow
- UPPERCASE args (FILE, PATH): Magenta
- [lowercase-opts]: Green
- Ellipsis (...): Dim
**Result**: Instant recognition of parameter types via color
---
### ✅ Request 3: Eliminate Wasted Space in Flag Browser
**"lots of lines of code above the interactive search flags menu that kinda gets wasted/skipped, integrate the syntax and description to appear within the search menu"**
**Solution**: Redesigned `browse_flags_fuzzy()` to integrate command info INTO fzf header with box drawing. Removed all banner displays before fzf.
**Result**: Zero wasted space, immediate flag browser with elegant header
---
## What Was Changed
### Files Modified
- `bash-helper.sh` (+111 lines, -86 lines)
### New Functions
1. `colorize_syntax()` - Parse and colorize syntax by element type
### Updated Functions
1. `browse_flags_fuzzy()` - Integrated header design
2. `show_flags()` - Streamlined to accept syntax/desc
3. `mode_explain()` - Uses colorized syntax
4. Interactive mode section - Fixed width calculations
---
## Testing Performed
**Explain mode**: Colorized syntax works for tar, find, grep
**Width calculation**: No clipping in 80-column terminal
**Color scheme**: All 5 element types display correctly
