Add a way to list available symbols for a given --symbols group #322

Description

@badele

Chafa provides the --symbols option to select predefined symbol groups such as legacy, border, or block. However, it is currently unclear which actual characters are included in each group.

There is no built-in way to inspect or list the symbols associated with a given group, which makes it difficult to understand what Chafa is really using internally or to compare the different groups.

It would be very useful to have a way to dump the symbols for a selected group, for example:

chafa --symbols block --dump-symbols

This could print the list of characters used by the block symbol set

If a new flag is not desirable, an equivalent command or subcommand that exposes this information would also solve the problem.
