Added flexible rules management:

• New init flag: You can now specify which rules to include at project initialization using --rules <rules> or -r <rules> (e.g., task-master init -r cursor,roo). Only the selected rules and configuration are included.
• New commands: task-master rules add <rules> and task-master rules remove <rules> let you add or remove specific rules and MCP config after initialization, supporting multiple rules at once.
• New command: task-master rules setup launches an interactive prompt to select which rules to apply to your project. This does not re-initialize your project or affect shell aliases; it only manages rules. The list of rules is always up-to-date with available profiles, so you never have to update the CLI when adding a new rule set.
• The interactive rules setup flow is also used during init if you don't specify rules with --rules.
• Documentation and tests were updated to reflect these changes.

This enables more flexible, rule-specific project setups and makes rules management much easier. You can update or switch rules at any time after initialization using the interactive setup.

• Resolves #338
