Make `ockam project show` (no args) interactive by asking the user to choose from a list of projects to show (tuify) #6473

Current behavior

When a user runs ockam project show without any arguments, currently they are shown an error & some help text. Here's a screenshot of this.

Desired behavior

Change the behavior of this command so that it becomes interactive with the user when no arguments are passed. Note that this can only be allowed to happen if:

This what the user flow should look like in interactive mode.

1) Use the tuify crate's select_from_list() function to ask the user to select from a list of project names. They should be able to make multiple selections. If there are none, then simply display a message saying that none exist (not an error) and exit.

2) Once the user has made their selection(s), then run show for each selected project, and display the results of the show command for each project that they've selected.

The following is a video showing a generic user flow that shows the user experience when a user is asked to choose a from a list of "things". Then an action is performed on each "thing". Finally status information is reported for each action that is performed on each "thing". Please note that this flow is not specific to this issue. Image https://asciinema.org/a/612547
