feat(BREAKING): specify project path
This PR allows users to specify the path to the database file
Pelican now expects the user to specify the path to the project's
database file which allows users to open different projects.

This is a breaking change because Pelican no longer opens the
default path automatically. If no path is set then Pelican stops
with an error message.

== Overview
**This project is WIP and is not meant for production use.**
Pelican is a simple Kanban board for your terminal.
Data is stored in a https://github.com/etcd-io/bbolt[BoltDB] database.
Pelican does not make any assumptions to the path of the database file;
instead the user is expected to specify the path when running the application.
== Installation
=== Requirements
==== Go
A minimum version of Go 1.21.0 is required for installing spruce.
Please go https://go.dev/dl/[here] to download the latest version.
==== Mage (Optional)
The project includes a https://codeflow.dananglin.me.uk/apollo/pelican/src/branch/main/magefiles/mage.go[magefile]
for automating the build and installation of the binary.
You can visit the https://magefile.org[website] for instructions on how to install Mage.
=== Install with Mage
TBC
=== Install with Go
If your `GOBIN` directory is included in your `PATH` then you can install Pelican with Go.
[source,console]
----
git clone https://codeflow.dananglin.me.uk/apollo/pelican.git
cd pelican
go install ./cmd/pelican
----
== Running Pelican
To create a new Kanban project with Pelican, simply run the following command:
[source,console]
----
pelican ./project.pelican

This will create a new BoltDB database file called `project.pelican` in your current directory
and initialises the database with an empty project.
