🚀 Fix performance issues and hanging commands

Major fixes for DataPilot CLI performance and stability:

Performance Optimizations:
- Fixed async/await issues causing commands to hang
- Added sampling for large datasets (>10K rows)
- Optimized column type detection to sample only first 1000 rows
- Disabled expensive analyses (correlations, CART, regression) for large files
- Fixed memory check spam and improved memory management
- Added process.exit(0) to ensure clean CLI termination

Specific Fixes:
- Fixed LLM command hanging due to missing await on calculateStats
- Fixed EDA command timeouts on large files through aggressive sampling
- Fixed INT command spinner.error → spinner.fail issues
- Fixed ENG command missing outputHandler initialization
- Optimized detectAnalysisNeeds to avoid full dataset scans
- Fixed comprehensive mode option parsing

All commands now work efficiently with both small and large datasets.
Test results show <5s execution time for all commands.
