List available Jira fields using `jirac`.
Steps:
1. Check that `jirac` is available by running `jirac --version`. If it is missing, tell the user to install it with `cargo install jira-commands`.
2. Extract from the user's request:
- project key
- optional issue type
- whether they want only required fields
3. Run one of these:
- `jirac issue fields -p <PROJECT>`
- `jirac issue fields -p <PROJECT> --issue-type '<TYPE>'`
- add `--required-only` when requested
4. Highlight the field IDs and likely value shapes that matter for the next step.
Examples:
- "show required fields for Story in PROJ" → `jirac issue fields -p PROJ --issue-type 'Story' --required-only`
- "what custom fields are available in PROJ" → `jirac issue fields -p PROJ`
