Introducing a better Hugging Face CLI

We’ve renamed huggingface-cli to hf and overhauled the command structure for speed and clarity. The new CLI now uses the format hf <resource> <action>, so commands like hf auth login, hf repo create, or hf download Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B are now consistent and intuitive.

Migration is easy, the old CLI still works and will gently point you to the new commands.
