When running create-chat-app interactively, prompt the user for their OpenAI API key, create the .env file automatically, and simplify the getting-started instructions. In non-interactive mode, the behavior remains unchanged. Closes thesysdev#399

This works great - just a minor change for simplifying the code

resolveOne was meant as a utility for when the value can be passed from both the cli as flags and in interactive mode. Since we don't want this in non-interactive mode or a flag for this, you can directly use inquirer here

Also, this can be reorganized into a fn in the lib/ folder to clean up the command and keep it as a high-level orchestrator.

There's also a merge conflict to be resolved with the skill option.
I think it can be extended to a 3-step scenario
- Ask for OpenAI SDK BaseUrl (read a comment/issue about someone using OpenRouter, I personally used Gemini) (default value can be something like "Use OpenAI")
- (If they add a custom url) Ask for model name
- Ask for Api Key
Wdyt?
Drawbacks: prolongs the setup process

We can keep this PR simple and just take the API key
We can discuss the long term roadmap for OpenUI cli setup on the issue
