Improve papis workflow with enhanced functions and aliases

- Convert pafile and pafinder aliases to shell functions with better parameter handling
- Make pafile query parameter optional for interactive document selection
- Add patag function for hash-separated multi-tag addition (e.g., patag "tag1#tag2" query)
- Add paopen alias for quick document opening
- Update README to document all papis workflow shortcuts and functions
- Fix deprecated zsh initExtra to initContent
