Rename bash-helper.sh -> super-man.sh and update all docs/tests to the super-man name and alias. In interactive mode, pressing Esc in the flag browser now returns directly to the home menu, removing the intermediary "Press Enter to search another command" prompt.

🔧 Fixed Interactive Mode
Problem: Filtering didn't work properly - -v flag wouldn't show
Solution: Completely rewrote show_flags() function:
- Better OPTIONS section extraction from man pages
- Improved filtering logic
- Proper fallback when OPTIONS section not found
- Now correctly shows filtered flags
Before:
Filter: -v
[empty or wrong output]
After:
Filter: -v
-v, --invert-match
Invert the sense of matching, to select non-matching lines.
-V, --version
Print the version number of grep to standard output.
