Add support for configurable comments in generated files

Users want the ability to add custom comments to generated files. One
concrete use case is adding directives like `swift-format-ignore-file`
and `swiftlint:disable all` to prevent these tools from processing
generated code.

- Added `additionalFileComments` property to `Config` and `UserConfig` structs
- Modified `FileTranslator` to include additional comments along with the do-not-edit comment
- Added CLI support with `--additional-file-comment` option
- Added config tests to confirm the option propagates and the default is empty
- Added snippet tests to validate the actual rendering
- Updated documentation with examples and usage instructions

Users can now configure additional comments to be added to generated
files using either the config file or a command line option.

Fixes #738.

- Added unit tests for `Config`
- Added snippet tests for rendering
- Manual tests of generator using config and CLI on real OpenAPI doc:

```console
% swift run swift-openapi-generator generate openapi-documents/petstore.yaml \
  --mode types \
  --output-directory test-output-cli \
  --additional-file-comment "hello world" \
  --additional-file-comment "testing, testing, 1, 2, 3"
