Add comprehensive column enhancements and YAML output to ls command

Major new features:
- Node depth column with --node-depth/--skip-node-depth flags
- File/directory count columns with --file-count/--dir-count flags
- Average statistics columns (--avg-words/--avg-size) for directories
- Prefix separation for numbered indent (-n creates separate columns)
- YAML output with -Y/--yaml flag including front matter
- Linux tool integration for ultra-fast file analysis
- Conditional computation for performance optimization
- Enhanced sorting with new keys (f=file count, r=dir count, a=avg words, z=avg size, b=binary flag)

Technical improvements:
- Enhanced FileInfo/DirInfo models with new fields and caching
- Hybrid depth computation strategy (eager for sorting, lazy otherwise)
- Centralized display configuration with DRY column management
- Cross-platform compatibility with proper fallbacks
- Comprehensive parameter validation and conflict resolution
- All 55 tests passing with full backward compatibility
