Initialize a fork of GoodDocs with fork-specific defaults and a customized doc type.
Behavior
Prompt the user for:
repoName
docTypeDisplayName (default: Design Docs)
docTypeKey (default: design-docs)
docRoot folder name under docs/ (default derived from docTypeKey)
defaultOwners (comma-separated)
Create repo.config.json with:
repoName, defaultDocTypeKey, defaultOwners (array), and createdAt (YYYY-MM-DD).
Update schema/doc_rules.json so docTypes[0] matches the new doc type key, display name, and doc root.
If docs/example exists and the chosen doc root differs, rename it and update links in docs/README.md.
Run python3 scripts/validate_docs.py and fix issues before finishing.
