gh project item-edit/item-list: address fields, options, and items by name #13816
Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve
gh project item-edit and item-list currently require ProjectV2 node IDs for the project, item, field, and single-select option. Getting those IDs means extra field-list/item-list preflight calls and copy-pasting opaque IDs, which is especially painful for scripting and for agents driving gh. Every other gh project verb that touches items (e.g. item-add) already accepts a human-readable [<number>] --owner --url addressing scheme, so item-edit is the odd one out.
Proposed solution
Add additive, backward-compatible name-based addressing that mirrors item-add:
