[create-cloudflare] Respect CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID environment variable

[petebacondarwin]

Fixes #[no related issue].

When running wrangler init (which delegates to C3), if CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID is set in the environment, C3 now uses it directly instead of calling wrangler whoami and prompting for account selection.

This matches wrangler's own behavior for the CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID environment variable and enables seamless CI/CD workflows where the account is pre-configured.

Summary

• Added check for CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID at the start of chooseAccount() in C3
• When set, displays status message and uses that account ID directly
• Skips the wrangler whoami API call and account selection prompt

• Tests
  • Tests included/updated
  • Automated tests not possible - manual testing has been completed as follows:
  • Additional testing not necessary because:
• Public documentation
  • Cloudflare docs PR(s):
  • Documentation not necessary because: This aligns C3 behavior with existing wrangler behavior which is already documented
