Add fuzzy search to issue and project list queries

[Copilot]

The -q flag performs exact substring matching server-side, failing on typos. Users typing quickly or without visual aids get zero results for minor misspellings.

Changes

Client-side fuzzy matching: Query flag now applies sahilm/fuzzy to filter fetched results instead of server-side substring matching. Handles typos, partial matches, and fuzzy abbreviations with ranked results.

Modified files:

• internal/cmd/issue/list.go: Apply fuzzy search to issue subjects
• internal/cmd/project/list.go: Apply fuzzy search to project names
• Updated flag descriptions to indicate fuzzy search capability

Examples:

# Typo tolerance
red-cli issue list -q "lgn"  # matches "login"

# Fuzzy abbreviations  
red-cli issue list -q "fxbg"  # matches "fix bug in..."

# Partial matches
red-cli project list -q "web"  # matches "Website Redesign"

Trade-off: Searches within pagination window (default 25 for issues, 1000 for projects). Users needing broader search can increase --limit.

Dependency: Added github.com/sahilm/fuzzy@v0.1.1 (1.4k stars, zero external dependencies, designed for VSCode-style search).

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Greetings from Brazil. Oh, of course, I'd like fuzzy search in "list -q" param :)</issue_title>
<issue_description>The problem: today in my work I forgot my glasses (for real) at home, that's a problem of mine of course, but now I wanna type fast looking only to the screen (you know, using only the muscular memory) and I misstype some words here and there. So I'd like to suggest a simple fuzzy search, the same of frameworks like Fuzze.js in JS ecosystem, in Go/Ruby I don't know, but there should be an implementation for certain.</issue_description>
