Maybe initialise git when creating a new project.

Related to #159

When users create a new project we're actually creating a new directory with a single file main.kc in it. This gives a us an opportunity to initialise a git repo at the same time, but maybe this is a bad idea because we don't have immediate plans to support more git features and could be overwhelming to MEs who no nothing about SWE, and this is just another thing on top.

One way we could smooth over this is 1) Only show the toggle for initing repos for users that already have git installed, that way from the start we only show to users who know what git is. 2) Then for users that have git install and have opted into initialising repos, we can (maybe) add a button/action that opens a terminal window cded into the current project dir, so there an easy path to get to git commit ... for users who know what they're doing without any git UI features in the app.

I put "maybe" in 2) because I'm not sure how easy that is to do from tauri and on different OS If we were to do this, all of it would be hidden in the web-app

@franknoirot and I were talking about this in a slack thread. https://kittycadworkspace.slack.com/archives/C04KFV6NKL0/p1692031454573319

Do you think this is a good idea @jessfraz? It feels like a good call from a local first perspective and respecting power users, but a bad idea because it's really not necessary right now.

Independent of if we do this now or later:

• We check on first project creation to see if the user has Git installed (I'd like to try adding a Rust-side function for this)
• We show a confirmation modal regardless talking about "adding file history with Git", with the setting toggle to Add Git to New Projects, toggled on by default if we detected it. If we didn't and the user toggles the setting on manually, the confirmation button says "Install Git and add to projects" to show that we're about to install some software.
• Then in the App (or in its own high-level component since App is getting huge) we add an unmount listener that auto-commits any changed files in the current directory.

So even if we do this we only really support "auto-save" for Git power users for a while, but it unlocks us being able to do the following in the future:

• File and project rollbacks
• Branching and merging
• GitHub / GitLab / some-cloud-Git-provider-we-build-for-CAD Integration™️©️®️

"Install Git and add to projects" to show that we're about to install some software

Installing git ourselves sounds troublesome, I'm not sure how easy it is with different OS. My inclination is to just point them to https://git-scm.com/downloads, but that's without having looked into it.
