Add CLI

This would help to use this as an API integration tool for now with other programming languages.

They really need to release a RESTful API or something, sigh ... (they, meaning Workflowy proper -- this project of course, is a great idea, but you know what I mean)

I'd love to see an official and stable API from them. Until then I like the tool enough to keep this module going.

@wizonesolutions, @jgallen23, @rcherny: Can you walk through a few use cases for a CLI client? Implementing one may be tricky due to WorkFlowy's assumption that clients will have a local mostly-synchronized copy of the tree data, but it's at least worth looking into.

The only use case I have is adding a new item to a list. I basically just want to pass in the item text and the parent id.

The reason I want this is to be able to have a cron job that can create recurring tasks.

@cotto is there any way you could document (maybe start a wiki entry) the create item api? I tried to go through the perl code, but it's pretty cryptic for somebody who has never done anything in perl before. Thanks
