Rename cli/ to unsloth_cli/ to fix namespace collision with stringzilla (#4393)

* Rename cli/ to unsloth_cli/ to fix namespace collision with stringzilla

stringzilla installs a namespace package at cli/ (cli/split.py, cli/wc.py)
in site-packages without an __init__.py. When unsloth is installed as an
editable package (pip install -e .), the entry point script does
`from cli import app` which finds stringzilla's namespace cli/ first and
fails with `ImportError: cannot import name 'app' from 'cli'`.

Non-editable installs happened to work because unsloth's cli/__init__.py
overwrites the namespace directory, but this is fragile and breaks if
stringzilla is installed after unsloth.

Renaming to unsloth_cli/ avoids the collision entirely and fixes both
editable and non-editable install paths.
