KMP Dependency Initialization

Intent

Provide a repeatable way to bootstrap a KMP project with essential libraries:

Networking: Ktor
Dependency Injection: Koin

Behavior flags (optional):
- --all: Install all common libraries (default).
- --minimal: Install only Coroutines and Serialization.

Workflow

Inject Managed Blocks into libs.versions.toml:
- [versions] section
- [libraries] section
- [plugins] section
Update composeApp/build.gradle.kts:
- Apply kotlinx-serialization plugin.
- Inject dependency calls into commonMain.
Validation: Ensure the project still syncs and builds.
