Description

Currently one needs some deeper degree of understanding which config values are there, what they do and how to use them.

I wonder whether it would make sense to add a "wizard" for creating new configs that guides a user along the most important steps and sets the values accordingly to the selection.

Like:
"Do you want snapper to create automatically timeline snapshots [y/n] (default: y)" (Wording can probably be further improved).

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing config-creation flow and reviewing the available config values and their defaults. Done means a guided wizard can create a config by prompting for the important selections and applying the chosen values.
