Adding New Commands

The architecture is designed to make adding new commands easy:

1. Create a new file in sphinx_cmd/commands/ (e.g., new_command.py)
2. Implement an execute(args) function in your new file
3. Import the command in sphinx_cmd/cli.py
4. Add a new subparser for your command in create_parser()
