New: AI Assisted Configuration

Intent

Configuration is the hardest part of setting up ynab-buddy. This PR aims to make that process easier with... AI (because duh).

The config file can be daunting for users unfamiliar with csv parsing, date formats, and so on. In an attempt to make configuration easier* I'm suggesting this update to the config file.

What it does

I'm adding a new section to the config file. Humans can completely ignore it, but if the config file (along with this new section) gets pasted into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, ... it will instruct the AI assistant to help the user set up their own config file.

Testing

So far, I've tested this on GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Both provided adequate guidance in setting up a config file.

Caveats

The AI assistant should warn the user not to share sensitive information, such as their YNAB personal token, or plain transaction files. Both GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet followed these instructions well.

Request for feedback

If you're reading this, you can help me! Copy the new config file from this PR, and paste it into your favorite AI chatbot. Let the bot guide you through creating a new config file, and note how it performs (both the good, the bad and the ugly)
