Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some of the packages in the CLI are outdated and archived. Since the CLI is the 'model' client it should be made available as reusable packages that are easy to consume in other clients as well. (For eg terraform providers etc)

Describe the solution you'd like A new CLI is built using a common set of cf client packages (for eg go-cf client) and the CLI can be referenced for the implementation of other CF clients as well.
