alexion 1fd8e7e773 dotcli: add dot setup folders (XDG short-name migration) ...

Adds a dot setup subcommand family (idempotent, re-runnable machine-setup
tasks) with a folders task that brings the 8 standard XDG user
directories under a fixed short-name convention (Desktop -> .desktop,
Documents -> doc, Downloads -> dwn, Music -> mus, Pictures -> pic,
Videos -> vid, Templates/Public -> .ignoreme), hardcoded rather than read
from ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs -- that file is a separate, manually
tracked dotfile whose values can drift or go stale, and the migration
must not depend on it being correct. The nested Pictures/Screenshots
folder is renamed to pic/screenshots in the same pass.

Content left behind in a legacy full-named folder by a fresh XDG-defaults
install -- empty or not -- is merged into its short-named replacement.
A same-named collision between a legacy folder and its target is never
overwritten: it is skipped, reported, and the legacy folder is left in
place rather than deleted while something in it could not be merged.
--dry-run previews what would move/skip without touching the filesystem.
xdg-user-dirs-update runs once afterward to notify running apps/portals.
