This PR updates the behavior of the cot Command Line Interface by aligning it to the one of other editors (e.g. Vim, Nano, Emacs, etc.).

I bumped the version to 6.0.0 as this PR introduces breaking changes to the interface (e.g. the --new flag is removed).
Fixes #1776.

The new behavior is highly inspired by Vim, meaning that:

  • cot opens a new untitled document
  • cot FILE1 FILE2 ..., for each path:
    • If the path is an existing file or directory, opens it in a new window
    • If the path is not an existing file, creates the file and any intermediate directory, and opens it in a new window

The rest is left unchanged.

Although I performed some tests, feel free to perform more.

Thank you for the PR.
However, the current implementation is intentional.
Please let me have time to consider it.
