Support for printing help from scala compiler

Help from the scala compiler can now be printed without passing any sources:

$ scala-cli --scalac-help
  Usage: scalac <options> <source files>
    where possible standard options include:
    -Dproperty=value      Pass -Dproperty=value directly to the runtime system.
    -J<flag>              Pass <flag> directly to the runtime system.
  ...

Other scalac print help options (like -X, -Xshow-phases, -Vphases, etc.) are supported as well.

$ scala-cli -Xshow-phases
...
Possible advanced options include:
-Xcheck-macros              Check some invariants of macro generated code while
...

Scala CLI is built using mill-scala-cli Mill plugin

We now rely on mill-scala-cli Mill plugin, which allows compiling Scala modules with Scala CLI rather than with Mill's ZincWorker.
To see more go to mill-scala-cli and try it in your project.

Add default-file command

The default-file sub-command provides sensible default content for files such as .gitignore or for GitHub actions workflows, for Scala CLI projects.

$ scala-cli default-file --write .gitignore .github/workflows/ci.yml
 Wrote .gitignore
 Wrote .github/workflows/ci.yml

To see more go to default-file section in documentation.
