Steve Yegge 02513f1c31 bd create: support --description=- for stdin input
Allows descriptions with apostrophes and other shell-problematic
characters by reading from stdin. Works with both --description=-
and --body=- (the GitHub CLI-style alias).

Example: echo "It's working" | bd create --title "Test" --description=-

Also fixes pre-existing duplicate pinned column/variable declarations.

Fixes beads-iwi
