Add `wp post export` and `wp post import` #86

I feel it will be very useful

$ wp post export --stdout | wp post import --stdin

If we want to change the CPT:

wp post export --post-type=apple --stdout | wp post import --post-type=orange --stdin

We had a conversation with @Kenshino at WordCamp Bangkok.

For this specific use case, exporting & re-importing would create a lot of churn in the database, and produce new IDs.

I think a better solution for this use case would be something like this:

wp post update $(wp post list --post_type=apple --format=ids) --post_type=orange

The mechanism of importing & exporting might still be useful to move from one site to another, though.
