Description

Add acceptance criteria flag support to task creation and editing commands. Include -ac flag and consider full --acceptance-criteria command option.

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] Add -ac flag to backlog task create command
• [x] Add -ac flag to backlog task edit command
• [x] Consider implementing full --acceptance-criteria flag as alternative
• [x] Acceptance criteria should be added as checkbox list in markdown
• [x] Preserve existing -d (description) functionality
• [x] Update help text for both create and edit commands
• [x] Add tests for acceptance criteria flag functionality
• [x] Handle multiple acceptance criteria items (comma-separated or multiple flags)

Implementation Notes

• Implemented both --ac and --acceptance-criteria flags for both create and edit commands
• Used Commander.js convention where short flags must be single character, so used --ac as a long option
• Acceptance criteria are comma-separated and automatically formatted as markdown checkboxes
• The updateTaskAcceptanceCriteria function handles adding or replacing criteria in the task description
• Added comprehensive test coverage including edge cases and both flags
• The feature supports multiple criteria in a single flag value (comma-separated)
