Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add init command for skills and MCP

Introduce a new CLI init command to install Firecrawl integrations. Adds src/commands/init.ts which implements handleInitCommand with subcommands 'skills' and 'mcp' (installSkills and installMcp). Both flows invoke npx helpers via execSync and accept --global and --agent options; installMcp requires an API key (getApiKey / FIRECRAWL_API_KEY) and injects it into the environment. Registers the command in src/index.ts and updates README.md with usage examples for `firecrawl init skills` and `firecrawl init mcp` (including the npx add-mcp invocation). Exits on failures to propagate errors to the caller.
