`--init` option

Use the --init option on the command line to generate conventional files for
an RSpec project. It generates a .rspec and spec/spec_helper.rb with some
example settings to get you started.

These settings treat the case where you run an individual spec file
differently, using the documentation formatter if no formatter has been
explicitly set.

Scenarios
  1. Generate `.rspec`
  2. `.rspec` file already exists
  3. Accept and use the recommended settings in `spec_helper` (which are initially commented out)
Generate `.rspec`
When
I run rspec --init
Then
the following files should exist:
.rspec
And
the output should contain "create .rspec"
`.rspec` file already exists
Given
a file named ".rspec" with: 
--force-color
When
I run rspec --init
Then
the output should contain "exist .rspec"
Given
I have a brand new project with no files
And
I have run rspec --init
When
I accept the recommended settings by removing =begin and =end from spec/spec_helper.rb
And
I create "spec/addition_spec.rb" with the following content: 
RSpec.describe "Addition" do
  it "works" do
    expect(1 + 1).to eq(2)
  end
end
And
I create "spec/subtraction_spec.rb" with the following content: 
RSpec.describe "Subtraction" do
  it "works" do
    expect(1 - 1).to eq(0)
  end
end
Then
the output from rspec should not be in documentation format
But
the output from rspec spec/addition_spec.rb should be in documentation format
But
the output from rspec spec/addition_spec.rb --format progress should not be in documentation format
And
the output from rspec --pattern 'spec/*ction_spec.rb' should indicate it ran only the subtraction file
And
the output from rspec --exclude-pattern 'spec/*dition_spec.rb' should indicate it ran only the subtraction file
