arc init

Bootstrap new Architect project code. Running arc init in an empty directory creates a default app.arc manifest file named after that directory with one default function src/http/get-index. Edit app.arc adding functions and re-run arc init to generate further code. This command is intended to be run and re-run; it will only generate files if they do not already exist.
