feat(project): enhance fork handling for existing repos

Description

This merge request adds functionality to handle cases where a user attempts to fork a project that already exists in their namespace. Instead of failing, the code now offers options to clone the existing repository or add it as a remote. It also improves error handling and user feedback during the forking process. The changes mainly affect the project forking logic, providing a more user-friendly experience when dealing with potential naming conflicts or existing repositories. Additionally, the code introduces a new function to list projects, which is used to search for existing projects when adding them as remotes.
