Feature: HTML export from CLI tool

This commit introduces support for exporting a KeePassXC database in
HTML format via the CLI tool. The key changes include:
- Refactoring HtmlExporter:
  - Moved HtmlExporter to the format directory and made its API
    compatible with CsvExporter.
  - Since the original HtmlExporter had a direct dependency on the
    gui/Icons functions and indirect dependencies on the
    gui/DatabaseIcons class, only the non-GUI parts were moved to
    format/HtmlExporter.
  - All icon-related functionality was encapsulated in a new child
    class, gui/HtmlGuiExporter.
    - The gui/HtmlGuiExporter retains the original functionality of the
      HtmlExporter class.
    - The format/HtmlExporter now generates HTML export without icons.
      Adding icon support to format/HtmlExporter would require moving
      icon management logic to the core, which could have broader
      implications.
- CLI integration:
  - Updated cli/Export to use format/HtmlExporter.
- GUI Integration:
  - Updated gui/export/ExportDialog to use gui/HtmlGuiExporter.
- Build System Updates:
  - Updated CMakeLists.txt to build HtmlExporter as part of core_SOURCES
    and HtmlGuiExporter as part of gui_SOURCES.
- Testing:
  - Updated TestCli to automatically verify the output of the HTML
    export.
