Support from GDAL 3.11 unified commands new api cli #296

Description

@stefanocudini

With GDAL 3.11 the command-line interface has been significantly redesigned around a single, unified command structure, inspired by tools like Git and Docker.

Instead of multiple standalone utilities (gdalinfo, gdal_translate, gdalwarp, etc.), GDAL now exposes a single entry point (gdal) with well-structured subcommands, for example:

Old way

gdalinfo my.tif
gdal_translate -of COG in.nc out.tif

New way (GDAL >= 3.11)

gdal raster info --format=text my.tif
gdal raster convert --of=COG in.nc out.tif

This change reflects a deeper reorganization of how GDAL commands are exposed and composed, and it is closely tied to new internal APIs that power the modern CLI.

Does gdal-async currently support (or plan to support this new unified command model introduced in GDAL 3.11?
