feat(vcs): create a Git repository for a project that has none

Git › Create Git Repository… asks for the folder (the project root by default),
runs git init there and picks up the new repository, so the branch widget,
the Commit tool window and file statuses appear without reopening the project.
The title bar's Version Control menu, shown while a project has no repository,
lists it first.
