Subject: [PATCH] docs: clarify that the installer already inits the current
 project (#826)

The Quick Start lists 'codegraph init' as step 3 as if it were always
required, but step 1's installer already initializes the project it's
run in (src/installer/index.ts initializeLocalProject -> CodeGraph.init
+ indexAll on a local install). Users who follow the steps literally hit
'Already initialized ...' when they re-run init in that same project
(reported in #826).

Clarify that step 3's 'codegraph init' is for OTHER projects, and that
the project the installer ran in is already indexed.

 ### 3. Initialize Projects
 
+The interactive installer in step 1 already initializes **the project you ran it in** (it runs `codegraph init` for you on a local install — see "Initialize your current project" above). For that project you can skip straight to step 2.

+To index **other** projects, run `codegraph init` in each one:
