feat(config): add --create flag to automatically create config files

Add --create persistent flag to config command that automatically creates
config files and parent directories when they don't exist, eliminating
the need for interactive prompts during automation.

Changes:
- Add --create flag to config command as persistent flag
- Refactor file creation logic into shared handleFileCreation function
- Update config set and config cluster set to use common function
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing askToCreate behavior
