feat(cli): allow setting project name in .chainloop.yaml

Extend DotChainloopConfig to support a `project` field so that
`chainloop attestation init` can read the project name from the
config file when the --project flag is not provided.

Precedence: CLI flag > .chainloop.yaml > default.

Example .chainloop.yaml:
  project: my-project
  projectVersion: v1.2.0

Note: organization override from .chainloop.yaml is not included
in this PR because the org is baked into the gRPC connection
credentials during PersistentPreRunE, before att init's PreRunE
runs. Supporting org override requires loading the config earlier
in the command lifecycle — left for follow-up discussion.

Fixes: #3063
