paulhorn a82bdf4734 Add template overrides: canon templates and templates export
Every generated source file, README.md and .gitignore now comes from a
template that a file of the same name can replace:

- <project>/.canon/templates/ for that project, which wins over
- ~/.config/canon/templates/ ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME respected) for all
  projects; canon new reads only these

canon templates lists each template, where it comes from and the
placeholders it can use. canon templates export [<file>...] [--user]
copies built-in texts as a starting point and never overwrites.

Overrides are checked strictly: an unknown file name or a placeholder
the template does not provide is an error naming the file; hidden files
are ignored. Generators take a template_set, so they stay pure.

Also:
- executor: a symlink to a directory counts as a directory (macOS /var,
  linked config directories)
- plan: add_directory stops at the filesystem root
- project: find_project_root, shared by load_project and templates
- tests: a templates scenario; scenarios run canon with their own empty
  XDG_CONFIG_HOME so personal templates cannot affect results
