Subject: [PATCH] feat: add --notes/-n option for task descriptions

The Reclaim.ai API supports task notes/descriptions via the 'notes' field,
but the CLI didn't expose this functionality. This change adds:

- `--notes`/`-n` option to `create-task` command
- `--notes`/`-n` option to `edit-task` command
- Notes display in `show-task` output

Example usage:
  reclaim create "My task" -n "Task description here"
  reclaim edit abc123 -n "Updated description"
