Steve Yegge 0947d0d04d Add 'gt git-init' command and --git flag for harness setup (gm-otp)
Adds git repository initialization for Gas Town harnesses:

1. New 'gt git-init' command for existing harnesses:
   - Creates comprehensive .gitignore for Gas Town
   - Initializes git repository if not present
   - Optionally creates GitHub repo with --github flag

2. New flags on 'gt install':
   - --git: Initialize git with .gitignore during install
   - --github=owner/repo: Create and push to GitHub repo
   - --private: Make GitHub repo private

The .gitignore properly excludes:
- Polecats and rig clones (recreated with gt spawn/rig add)
- Runtime state files (state.json, *.lock, registry.json)
- OS and editor files

And tracks:
- Role contexts (CLAUDE.md)
- .beads/ configuration and issues
- hop/ directory
