Description
Please explain your intent
The ability to turn layers on/off, delete layers, and copy layers to a new file
Describe the solution you'd like
A new command layers, perhaps something like:
> pdfly layers doc.pdf --list
['layer1': {'visible': True}, 'layer2': {'visible': True}]
> pdfly layers doc.pdf --off layer1
layer1 turned off
> pdfly layers doc.pdf --list
['layer1': {'visible': False}, 'layer2': {'visible': True}]
> pdfly layers doc.pdf --del layer2
layer2 deleted
> pdfly layers doc.pdf --list
['layer1': {'visible': False}]

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing CLI command entry points and how PDF manipulation commands are structured. Define the scope of a proposed layers command around listing, toggling visibility, deleting layers, and copying layers to a new file. Done should include documented command behavior and coverage for the requested operations.
