Add a command, Archify: New Diagram…, that asks for a diagram type and a file name, then creates a starter .archify (YAML) file and opens it in the diagram editor.

Why: the only starter today is examples/hello.archify. Upstream archify now also targets everyday subjects (leave plans, approval processes, order status). A valid starting file per type lowers the barrier more than an empty schema does.

Templates (one per type):

architecture, workflow, sequence, dataflow, lifecycle: small, valid, converted from the upstream examples/*.json with scripts/to-yaml.mjs.
One everyday template based on upstream examples/holiday-planning.workflow.json (uses the calendar / briefcase icons).

Also: add it to the Explorer context menu (folder) and the command palette.

Done when: every template passes archify validate (test), and the new file opens in the diagram editor.
