feat: use -a for add, --amend for amend

Amolith created 

Changed flag behavior:
- -a is now shorthand for --add (stage all modified files)
- --amend is now long-form only (no short flag)

Updated documentation in main.go, AGENTS.md, and README.md to reflect
new flag behavior.

Closes: bug-f90a6de
Assisted-by: Claude Sonnet 4.5 via Crush

 - `-T` / `--trailer`: Repeatable flag accepting full trailer strings in `Key: value` format (not separate key/value args)

 Trailer format detail: Each `-T` flag takes a complete trailer string like `-T "Assisted-by: GLM 4.6 via Crush"`, NOT separate key and value arguments.
 
 ### Final Output
 
-The formatted commit message must be piped to `git commit -F -` to read from stdin. When the `-a`/`--amend` flag is used, it pipes to `git commit --amend -F -` instead.
