Add `--from-file` flag to `pro computers get`

[ckay-unsw]

Product namespace

pro (Jamf Pro / Platform API)

What problem does this solve?

Use the pro computer get command to get multiple computers at a time from file input

Proposed solution

jamf-cli pro computer get --from-file desktops.txt

Where desktops.txt is a file containing lines of serial numbers, computer names, computer ids, or uuids.

You might want to do the same for the jamf-cli pro mobile-devices command as well.

Alternatives considered

Just adding a comment that we'll likely go with --file because --from-file is typically reserved used in create, update, apply for text content containing an API request body, whereas --file can be content-agnostic, based on the command that's using it. Establishing a strict convention around it will help with agentic usage of jamf-cli as well.
