Ignore 'Initial commit'

[fadnincx]

Problem description

When you have a template repo that contains action, creating a new repo from this template will always result in a failed pipeline because the initial commit Github makes to insert everything from the template into the repo will be called "Initial commit".

How to reproduce

1. Create a new repo from a template containing this action. For example projectpotos/ansible-role-potos_template.
2. Wait until pipeline is done
3. You can see that the commitlint pipeline is failing

Proposed solution

If the first commit is called "Initial commit" this should be accepted. One might be able to allow this only conditionally with a variable to not change current default behavior

IMO this is not necessary caused by this action but rather just something in the commitlint configuration. So the Initial commit should then be added to https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint/blob/v17.5.1/%40commitlint/is-ignored/src/defaults.ts#L17-L29.
