Description
Response files allow command line tools to read args from a file instead of a command line, which can be very helpful for growing complexity.
When a response file is detected (arg w/ "@") the sbom-tool should read the files contents and parse the arguments as if they were provided from the CLI.

Research direction
Start by locating the sbom-tool CLI argument-parsing entry point and review how command-line arguments are currently read. Add support for arguments beginning with @ so the referenced file contents are parsed as CLI arguments, while preserving existing behavior for ordinary arguments. Done means response-file arguments work like equivalent inline arguments.
