The stellar tx new command help output was difficult to read due to verbose multi-line descriptions containing URLs and extensive explanations. This made it hard to quickly scan available commands and understand their basic purpose.

Before

The help text included:

• Multi-line descriptions that wrapped awkwardly
• Embedded URLs that cluttered the output
• Verbose explanations better suited for detailed documentation

After

Commands:
  account-merge        Transfer XLM balance to another account and remove source account
  bump-sequence        Bump sequence number to invalidate older transactions
  change-trust         Create, update, or delete a trustline
  create-account       Create and fund a new account
  manage-data          Set, modify, or delete account data entries
  payment              Send asset to destination account
  set-options          Set account options like flags, signers, and home domain
  set-trustline-flags  Configure authorization and trustline flags for an asset

Changes Made

• Converted all help constants in cmd/soroban-cli/src/commands/tx/help.rs to concise one-liners
