feat(init): pre-read common config files to reduce round-trips (#704)

## Summary

Pre-reads ~35 common config files (manifests, framework configs, Sentry
configs) after computing the directory listing, then sends them as
`fileCache` in the `startAsync` input data.

Workflow steps already check `fileCache` before suspending for
`read-files`, so this eliminates 1-3 HTTP round-trips with **no
server-side changes needed** — the `fileCache` field is already in step
input schemas.

Capped at 512KB total to avoid sending excessive data upfront.

### Files pre-read

Manifests: `package.json`, `tsconfig.json`, `pyproject.toml`, `Gemfile`,
`go.mod`, `build.gradle`, `pom.xml`, `Cargo.toml`, `pubspec.yaml`,
`mix.exs`, `composer.json`

Framework configs: `next.config.*`, `nuxt.config.*`, `angular.json`,
`astro.config.*`, `svelte.config.js`, `remix.config.js`,
`vite.config.*`, `webpack.config.js`

Sentry configs: `sentry.client.config.*`, `sentry.server.config.*`,
`sentry.edge.config.*`, `instrumentation.*`

## Test plan

- [x] Existing tests pass (no behavioral change for existing ops)
- [x] Lint clean

Note: this needs `fileCache` added to `wizardInputSchema` on the server
to actually flow through. It's a one-line schema change (`fileCache:
z.record(z.string(), z.string().nullable()).optional()`). Without it,
the server silently drops the extra field — no breakage.
