[Sequester] Improve command line grammar

Now that we've converted to System.CommandLine, we can create a more obvious command line format for Sequester. This would simplify the logic of the app by making the valid combinations of different arguments and options clearer.

See #609

Associated WorkItem - 593346

This should have the following commands:

Root command: the regular every night run for the past 5 days
sequester recent --duration 5
Monthly run for all open issues
sequester open
Troubleshoot run for 1 issue
sequester issue 12345

Moving back into the backlog. I'll pick this up when we have a reason to update Sequester for other reasons.

Thinking about doing this in July.

Bumping the size up somewhat, because this is a great opportunity to add unit tests, and possibly leveraging Copilot to write those tests.
