Allow configuring App ID through `wing.toml` and create a unique one for each new app

[eladb]

Use Case

It will behoove us for each Wing app to have a unique-ish root identifier. Since the root identifier is the basis for calculating all other generated names.

Currently we have a --rootId|-r option in the CLI, but this is not persistent.

Proposed Solution

Here's the proposed DX.

1) Allow specifying appid in wing.toml:

appid = "my-beautiful-app"

2) When wing new is executed, generate an appid based on the directory name and some random component:

$ mkdir you-are-awesome
$ cd you-are-awesome
$ wing new empty
$ cat wing.toml
appid = "you-are-awesome-ad837a"
