This PR adds a deprecation warning when running the old deprecated huggingface-cli CLI, pointing to hf with install methods and real usage examples. If hf is already installed, it says so and checks for updates

> huggingface-cli
Warning: `huggingface-cli` is deprecated and no longer works. Use `hf` instead.

Hint: `hf` is already installed! Use it directly.

Hint: Examples:
 hf auth login
 hf download unsloth/gemma-4-31B-it-GGUF
 hf upload my-cool-model . .
 hf models ls --search "gemma"
 hf repos ls --format json
 hf jobs run python:3.12 python -c 'print("Hello!")'
 hf --help
