feat: add sink for commanders to write output/read input (#232)
to write output, you would usually just use the print builtin
since commanders are just lua custom commands but this does not
consider the fact of pipes or other shell operators being used
to redirect or whatever.

this adds readable/writable "sinks" which is a type for input
or output and is currently only used for commanders but can be
used for other hilbish things in the future
