What this PR does / Why we need it?

Without a reason or -n, elevate treats the first command argument as the elevation reason. This can silently record "oc" as the reason or attempt to run the wrong command.

incorrect usage: ocm backplane elevate -- oc get pods

example resulting compliance ticket: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OHSS-57592

This PR makes the CLI handle that invocation with a clear error while preserving the existing documented valid usage forms of elevate. Cobra (already a project dependency) is used to check if -- appears before any positional argument or -n.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Elevated commands now return an error when no elevation reason is provided before -- and -n is not set. Use -n to reuse a stored reason or provide a reason when prompted.
  • Commands with an empty reason can proceed when a recent stored elevation reason is available. Existing command argument handling remains available, including when no command arguments are supplied.

runElevate to pass a non-nil empty slice instead of nil, so Cobra does not fall
