Right now each CLI command accepts a set of command parameters as separate command line flags. It's ok for adhoc use, but it's less ideal for automation. The goal for the "command-params-file" flag is to provide an ability to specify all required command-specific parameters in one JSON formatted file.

There's already a placeholder for the flag, but there's no logic to load and process the file data.

This is a good first issue for somebody already comfortable with Go and refactoring a significant amount of CLI flag processing code.

Specify all command parameters in a json (slimtoolkit#597)
7099626 
This commit introduces a new flag `FlagCommandParamsFile` across
multiple command files, allowing parameters to be loaded from a
specified file.

The `LoadParamsFromFile` function has been defined to handle
file reading and parameter setting. Additionally, code comments
and formatting have been updated for improved readability.

This enhancement provides a more flexible and organized way
to handle command parameters, especially in cases with numerous
or complex parameter sets.
