Motivation
As the number of CLI commands increases, it becomes harder to separate basic from advanced functionality that is part of our paid offering. This PR introduces the notion of command categories into our
localstack
command group, that allow us to visually separate the commands.The current implementation is very rudimentary, with grouping commands manually with a list of commands. I know this is not great, but it's the easiest way to get started without having to introduce additional concepts in ext for now.
Changes

to a more genericLocalStackCliGroup
