Subject: feat(cli): add --file flag to 'dispatch send' subcommand

Add the same --file <path> support that the summon (chat) command has to the
'dispatch send' subcommand. When --file is given, the file's contents are read
and attached to the message (composed via composeMessage, identical to chat).

- args.ts: add 'file' to the send ParsedCommand, make 'text' optional, parse
  --file, and require at least one of --text or --file.
- main.ts: read the file and compose the message in the send case, using the
  composed message in both the --queue and streaming branches; update USAGE.
- args.test.ts: cover --file parsing (alone, with --text, missing value) and
  update the existing send expectations + the both-missing error message.
