Add --extension flag to specify init for opting into extensions at init time (#3914)

* Add --extension flag to specify init for installing extensions at init time

Adds a repeatable --extension flag to `specify init` so users can opt into
extensions (bundled name, local path, or HTTPS URL) during initialization,
without a separate `specify extension add` step.

- New `_install_extension_during_init` helper in commands/init.py that
  auto-detects source type (URL / local path / bundled name / catalog) and
  installs via ExtensionManager. Failures are non-fatal and recorded in the
  tracker without aborting init.
- Extension tracker steps are pre-registered before the Live context and run
  after preset install, before finalize.
- Five new tests in TestExtensionFlag covering bundled name, multiple
  extensions, local absolute path, unknown extension (graceful error), and
  combination with --preset.

Rebased onto upstream/main and adapted to the refactored init command
(moved to src/specify_cli/commands/init.py) from stale PR #2396.

* Address review: reuse hardened downloader, refresh events, escape labels, fix bundler call

Responds to review feedback on #3914 and fixes CI (pytest bundler failure).

- Extract shared `install_extension_from_url` helper in extensions/_commands.py
  that reuses the authenticated, redirect-guarded, bounded (50 MiB) download
  and TOCTOU-safe transient archive used by `extension add --from`. Both
  `extension add --from` and `specify init --extension <url>` now go through
  this single downloader instead of a second raw urlopen path.
- Refresh native event configuration once after successful extension installs
  during init (mirrors `_refresh_events_and_warn` in the add path) so an
  extension declaring `events:` has its hooks activated.
- Escape user-controlled extension specs and error text before interpolating
  them into StepTracker labels (Rich markup injection).
- Pass `extensions=None` from bundler's `_run_init` so the init callback no
  longer receives the typer OptionInfo sentinel ('OptionInfo' object is not
  iterable), which broke `test_install_initializes_uninitialized_project`.
- Add init URL coverage in TestExtensionFlag: non-HTTPS rejection and a
  successful HTTPS ZIP install with download-cache cleanup assertion.

* Add default-deny trust confirmation for URL extension installs at init

URL-based --extension installs now require explicit trust, matching the
`extension add --from` posture. Interactive sessions show an "Untrusted
Source" panel and prompt (default no); non-interactive sessions deny by
default unless --trust-extension-urls is passed. Trust is resolved before
the Live display since the prompt can't be answered under the spinner.

- Add --trust-extension-urls option and _ext_spec_is_url /
  _confirm_extension_url_trust helpers
- Skip (not abort) unconfirmed URL extensions, consistent with other
  non-fatal extension failures
- Pass trust_extension_urls=False from the bundler init callback
- Add tests for deny-by-default, interactive confirm, and trusted install
