feat: add global flags --context-dir, --quiet, --no-color
- --context-dir: Override context directory path (default: .context) - --quiet: Suppress non-essential output (config.Quiet variable) - --no-color: Disable colored output (sets color.NoColor = true) Updated all usages of config.DirContext to config.ContextDir() to support the --context-dir override.
