Description
## Description of proposed feature
It would be nice if the `manim init project` command would allow existing folders as its target.
Or at least if no conflicting files exist in the target folder.
## How can the new feature be used?
It would make the setup process very straightforward:
```console
uv init . --bare
uv add manim
uv run manim init project .
```

Research direction
Start at the implementation of the `manim init project` command and run the issue's `uv init . --bare`, `uv add manim`, and `uv run manim init project .` sequence. Done means the command accepts an existing target folder when it has no conflicting files, while preserving its existing setup behavior.
