Introduce `OutputFormatType` enum and `--format` flag to let users choose between JSON (default), table, and TOML output. Thread the format through all command handlers, the REPL, and `FormatOutput`. Table rendering serializes values to JSON, extracts columns from record objects, and falls back to JSON for non-tabular data.

The full feature will take a while to complete to ensure neat output |

Apply rustfmt formatting to improve line breaks and import ordering across handler and utility modules.
Replace the manual JSON-to-table rendering with cli_table's `print_stdout`, requiring `Table` to be implemented on output types. Table formatting now writes directly to stdout via `print_stdout` instead of being serialized into a string, so the `format` method returns an empty string for `OutputFormatType::Table`.
The `cli_table` dependency is no longer used for formatting output, leaving only JSON and TOML formats available.

Description
This PR started with an observation of an unused dependency
cli-table. After seeing the commit of it 1 year ago i realized the author wanted to add support for pretty output. So i decided to expand it into a full suit of output format CLI option with JSON and TOML. (table support for all output would require adding more lines of code with little benefits)Notes to the reviewers
