Enhance format command with stdin/stdout support and remove dry-run

- Remove dry-run functionality from format command
- Implement stdin/stdout behavior when no files provided
- Support in-place formatting when files are specified
- Fix formatter to properly handle trailing newlines
- Update test files to reflect new stdin/stdout behavior
- Remove unused lineno field from formatter
