Description

The lambda CLI previously only wrote output to stdout using shell redirection.
This PR adds support for writing results to files using the -o flag.
This is implemented using a new Destination interface that mirrors the existing Source pattern.

Changes:

Added Destination interface with StdoutDestination and FileDestination implementations.
Added -o flag to CLI argument parser for output file specification.
Updated Config to use Destination instead of direct output handling.
Refactored main to use Destination.Write() for result output.
Updated Makefile targets (run, profile, explain) to use -o flag instead of shell redirection.

Decisions

The -o flag defaults to stdout when not specified or when set to -.
This maintains backward compatibility while providing explicit file output capability.

Benefits

Cleaner command-line interface without shell redirection.
Symmetric design with Source interface for input.
More portable across different shells and environments.
Explicit output handling improves code clarity.

Checklist

Code follows conventional commit format.
Branch follows naming convention (<type>/<description>).
Tests pass (if applicable).
Documentation updated (if applicable).
