Allow invoking StGit commands, aliases, and subcommands using any unambiguous prefix (for example, `stg del` for `stg delete`, `stg ser` for `stg series`, or `stg em s` for `stg email send`), matching StGit 1.x behavior. Enable `infer_subcommands(true)` on the base clap Command so clap accepts unambiguous prefixes for top-level and nested subcommands. Because the initial bootstrap CLI parser uses `allow_external_subcommands(true)` to avoid constructing the full command graph up front, also resolve subcommand prefixes across built-in commands, `help`, and configured aliases: - Exact matches on built-in commands, `help`, or aliases always take precedence over prefix matches. - Non-exact prefixes are checked against built-in commands, `help`, and aliases together so that a prefix shared between a built-in command and an alias (such as `res` for `reset` and `resolved`) is rejected as ambiguous.
