feat(welcome): initialize a non-repo folder as a project (T-489)

Browse Source 
Closes the new-project story (T-486). The dead-end "not a git repo" dialog now
offers to initialize the folder: project.init runs git init + a non-clobbering
scaffold, then opens + announces on projectCreatedChannel so the account
roadblock fires — the same path a brand-new project takes. Adds initExistingProject
+ the `clide project init [--dir]` verb (default: the current workspace).
