feat: add token output format with full TokensResult

Refactors the codebase to support a cleaner architecture with generic
type narrowing for output formats. Token output now returns the full
TokensResult (including bg, fg, tokens) instead of just ThemedToken[][].

Architecture changes:
- Extract output transformers to lib/output.ts
- Extract options builder to lib/options.ts
- Use generics for type-safe return values based on outputFormat
- Component restricts outputFormat to 'react' | 'html' at compile time
