Description

I'd love to have a command to query and interact with the providers store. Having this would be a great low level tool for hacking certain things together on ipfs as well as helping us to test and debug the providers storage system.

Research direction
Research the existing providers store implementation in kubo, likely in the providers package. Study the structure of existing CLI commands, such as 'ipfs pin' or 'ipfs swarm', to understand how commands are registered and executed. Identify the necessary types and functions to query and modify the provider store. The issue does not specify the exact subcommands, so propose a minimal set of subcommands like 'list' or 'get' based on typical provider storage interactions.
