Say hello to `hf`: a faster, friendlier Hugging Face CLI

HF renames the Hugging Face CLI from huggingface-cli to hf to reorganize commands around a clear hf <resource> <action> pattern, improving ergonomics and discoverability. The migration keeps the legacy CLI functional with warnings and documents how to install (pip install -U huggingface_hub) and verify (hf version) and explore commands (hf --help). It also introduces the hf jobs service to run scripts or Docker images on HF infrastructure with pay-as-you-go billing.
