Introduce a new deploy workflow using Netlify-hosted git repositories: - `netlify init --git`: configures a site to use Netlify's git provider, sets up the `netlify` remote, and wires up a credential helper in `./.git/config` for seamless git operations - `netlify push`: stages, commits, and pushes to the Netlify remote (which will trigger a build/deploy) - `netlify git-credentials` (hidden): git credential helper that provides the Netlify auth token for push authentication Adds `@clack/prompts` for pretty CLI UX. We've been meaning to do this for years and I'd rather not keep spreading our current patterns. The dependency weight is very small.

TBD: what should this be called? Confusingly, --manual already exists and means something completely unrelated to "manual deploys".
Should this even be opt-in (eventually)?

TBD: what should this be called? should this even be separate from netlify deploy? how exactly does the currently checked out branch come into play?
