Research direction

Start by examining the CLI command handling around exercism list and the existing track and download flows. Clarify how available exercises, difficulty, descriptions, track selection, and filtering should be represented; done means the command reports the intended exercises and filters them consistently.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Here's the usecase I'm imagining. I type exercism list (or exercism --track=java list for example) and the cli would output a list of the names of the exercises I have available to download, together with their difficulty level and maybe a short description. This would make things easier.

Perhaps I could then filter this list with e.g. exercism --difficulty=medium list for example...
