Implement wp site get command to enable site operations by URL

[Copilot]

Multisite installations with custom domains couldn't easily delete sites by URL - only by ID or slug, which required manual lookup in automated workflows.

Implementation

Adds wp site get <site> command that accepts both site IDs and full URLs:

URL detection and lookup

• Parses URLs via wp_parse_url() to extract domain and path
• Queries wp_blogs table by domain and path for URL-based lookups
• Falls back to existing fetcher for numeric IDs

Output formatting

• Returns site details via WP_CLI\Formatter with standard format options
• Default fields: blog_id, url, last_updated, registered
• Optional fields: site_id, domain, path, public, archived, mature, spam, deleted, lang_id
• Supports --field parameter for single field extraction

Command registration

• Added to composer.json commands list

Usage

# Get site ID from URL
$ wp site get http://example.com/subdir/ --field=blog_id
2

# Delete site by URL
$ wp site delete $(wp site get http://example.com/subdir/ --field=blog_id) --yes
Success: The site at 'http://example.com/subdir/' was deleted.

Follows the pattern established by wp user get and wp post get for consistency with existing commands.

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>site delete: allow deleting a site with the --url option</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Feature Request

• Yes, I reviewed the contribution guidelines.

Describe your use case and the problem you are facing

Currently the blog ID or slug must be specified when using the command. In cases where a custom domain is used, however, the --slug option fails and it is tedious to look up the assigned site ID in an automated use case.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allow site deletion by only specifying the --url option. For example: wp site delete --url="http://example.com".
</issue_description>

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@swissspidy We could implement `wp site get ` instead, then one could pair `wp site delete` with `wp site get http://example.com --field=id`. This would be more in line with all the other commands.
