#44 - CLI helper / personal assistant on command prompt

Commit for windows batch file. For main commit for php helper and
macos/linux see -

The TagUI scripts are already in natural-language-like syntax to
convert to JS code. I want to have a helper that can convert
natural-language-like instructions on the command line to call the
right scripts with right parameters.

Instead of typing tagui download_bank_report june on command prompt, I
think it is more intuitive to support typing erina download my june
bank report or something like that directly on command prompt. And let
the magic happens behind the scenes to return the results.

running this -
erina 5w1h/verb fillers options/modifiers fillers
single-or-multi-word-context

results in running -
tagui 5w1h/verb_context quiet options/modifiers

calling using chrome/firefox/headless or with chrome/firefox/headless
at the end of erina … will call tagui in visible chrome, firefox,
headless chrome respectively.

this feature allows future extension to natural language voice control.
the trigger word erina can be changed by just renaming the erina file
(macos/linux) or erina.cmd (windows) file.
