cli should have a --pretend flag to simulate execution

See original GitHub issue

Feature Request

Description

It would be nice to have the --pretend flag in our boost commands to just display the command actions without executing. boost deploy -e production --pretend, for example, would check that you are in a Booster project and the environment exists, but it wouldn’t perform the deployment in the cloud provider. The same could work for nuke or new commands

Possible Solution

Detect de flag in the relevant commands and pretend executing the cloud provider functions or writing the new files in the project folder

I would display a confirmation message on actions that overwrite or delete files, unless you pass the -y, --yes, -f or --force flag
