feat: add argument parsing and plain output flag

- Add command-line argument parsing using `go-arg` library
  - Define `Args` struct with `Plain` flag (`-p/--plain`)
  - Implement `Description()` method for program help text
  - Parse arguments in `main()` before loading Bible data
- Add `-p/--plain` flag to output plain text without chapter name or
verse numbers
  - Conditionally skip header formatting when flag is set
- Update `.gitignore` to exclude `bibel` binary
- Remove obsolete `bibel_date` binary and `bookmark.toml` file
- Update `CHANGELOG.md` with version 1.1.0 entry documenting new
features
- Add `github.com/alexflint/go-arg` and `go-scalar` dependencies to
`go.mod` and `go.sum`
