feat: add backlog init command
Summary
This adds an explicit
oat backlog initcommand for repositories that have OAT installed but do not yet have the local file-backed backlog structure. The command scaffolds the canonical backlog directories and starter files, preserves curated content on rerun, and now keeps the empty backlog directories versionable across git round-trips. Because this was delivered in quick mode, the PR is grounded indiscovery.md,plan.md, andimplementation.mdrather than a separate spec/design pair.Goals / Non-Goals
