feat: v3.6.0 — scaffold in-place, --force, --here, 42 courses, flag-skip fix

New features:
- grit new . / grit new ./ — scaffold into current directory
- --force flag for non-empty directories
- --here flag for explicit in-place scaffolding
- Auto-detect when cwd matches project name
- 42 total courses (8 new standalone courses)

Bug fixes:
- Flags (--triple --vite) now properly skip interactive prompt
- Module path upgraded from /v2 to /v3 (go install gets latest)
