Make init smarter as far as detecting projects, placing files, and showing warnings for incompatible directories

[zateutsch]

Smart init cases:
Directory passed

1. Valid project detected at passed directory => init with no prompting
2. No valid project detected => show warning and prompt confirmation with y/n

No directory passed

1. Valid project detected at root => no search executed, init at that location with no prompting
2. No project detected at root, other projects found => surface list of init location options, provide current directory as option in all cases. If current directory is invalid - show warning. Only 10 projects will be surfaced as a hard maximum, if search stops at 10, warning will be shown to pass directory manually if not surfaced in list
3. No projects found anywhere => warn and prompt confirmation at root

--use-defaults

1. Project at root valid => init there, no warning
2. Project at root invalid => init there, warning
