feat: Add automation based on config file

[jeevithakannan2]

Type of Change

• New feature
• Bug fix
• Documentation update
• Refactoring
• Hotfix
• Security patch
• UI/UX improvement

Description

• This PR introduces the ability to execute specified commands upon opening the TUI by providing a configuration file.
• It implements a basic structure for optionally passing a config file to linutil.
• This feature can be useful for automating system setups using a single config file (for non-interactive scripts), eliminating the need to repeatedly selecting the same set of commands for each system setup.
• Users can now pass a config file to linutil, and the specified commands in config will be executed in order.
• The config file is based on toml structure.
• If used with feat: Add --skip-confirmation flag #834 the commands are executed without a confirmation prompt when opening linutil.

Example toml file used in video:

auto_execute = [
    "Fastfetch",
    "Alacritty",
    "Kitty"
]

Testing

• Tested on Arch Linux. No issues.

Love this but

1. I think config files need a bigger discussion in general
2. This needs a documentation update

[jeevithakannan2]

This is just a basic implementation. Starting point of config file.
