Dasherize `client_transfer` in Shopify CLI

The Shopify CLI now uses dashes for the `client_transfer` store type flag value, matching every other multi-word enumerated value.

The Shopify CLI now accepts `--type client-transfer`, replacing the only underscored enumerated flag value in the manifest, `client_transfer` [1]. Every other multi-word flag value already used dashes, including `--flavor typescript-react`, `--delivery-method event-bridge`, and `--reconciliation-strategy keep-local` [3]. The old underscore form, which came from Business Platform's casing, is no longer the canonical value.

The change touches the `store list` command and internals like `STORE_TYPE_HANDLES` [1]. The commit notes that "`store list --type client_transfer` was the only underscored enumerated flag value in the entire CLI manifest" [1]. If any scripts or automation depend on the underscored form, update them to use the dashed form.
