fix: warn when onboarding is run outside a Capacitor project

[WcaleNieWolny]

Summary

• Warn and prompt to exit if no capacitor.config.* is found in the current directory
• Warn and prompt if no native platform directories (ios/android) exist, respecting custom paths from ios.path/android.path in capacitor config
• Reword install/import step prompts to be human-friendly ("Install @capgo/capacitor-updater in your project?" instead of "Automatic Install ... dependency in com.example.app?")
• Convert confirm prompts to selects with emoji labels (✅/❌) for consistency with other onboarding steps

Test plan

• Run node dist/index.js i from a non-Capacitor directory — should warn and offer to exit
• Run from a Capacitor project without ios/android dirs — should warn and ask to continue
• Run from a full Capacitor project with ios/ — no warnings shown
• Install updater step shows "Install @capgo/capacitor-updater in your project?" with emoji options
• Add code step shows "Add the Capacitor Updater import to your main file?" with emoji options

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Enhanced initialization prompts with choice-based options (e.g., "install" vs "manual") for better clarity during package and code setup.
  • Added configuration file validation to ensure Capacitor setup is detected before proceeding.
  • Added native platform directory detection (iOS/Android) with user prompts when directories are missing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR modifies the initialization command to replace confirmation prompts with choice-based selections for package installation and code injection, and adds preflight validation checks for Capacitor configuration and native platform directories during app initialization.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Interactive Initialization UX src/init/command.ts	Replaced confirmation prompts with pSelect choice-based prompts for installing @capgo/capacitor-updater (offering "install" vs "manual") and auto-adding Capacitor Updater imports (offering "add it" vs "manual"), with conditional execution gated on selected choice values.
Preflight Validation src/init/command.ts	Added validation logic to initApp that detects whether a capacitor.config.* file exists, warns if missing, and checks for expected native platform directories (ios, android) when config is present, with user prompts to continue or exit at each validation step.

Poem

🐰 A rabbit hops through init's bright halls,
Now asking choice, not just a call,
"Config found?" it checks with care,
Platform paths? We'll see if there!
Validation done, the path grows clear,
Initialization blooms, oh dear! ✨
