Subject: [PATCH] chore(cli): replace Accelerate CTA with create-db in
 generated schema (#29147)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary

- Replaces the Prisma Accelerate comment in generated `schema.prisma`
files with a CTA pointing to `npx create-db` for quickly getting a
Postgres database
- Updates the comment from the two-line Accelerate promotion to a
concise single-line: `// Get a free Postgres database in seconds: \`npx
create-db\``
- Renames internal variables (`aboutAccelerate` → `aboutCreateDb`,
`isProviderCompatibleWithAccelerate` → `showCreateDbCta`) to reflect the
new purpose
- Updates all 16 test snapshots to match

## Test plan

- [x] All 22 existing `Init.test.ts` tests pass (67 snapshots matched)
- [ ] `Lint` CI workflow passes
- [ ] `CLI commands` CI workflow passes
- [ ] `All pkgs (win+mac)` CI workflow passes

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* The CLI consistently displays a post-generation hint to create a free
Postgres database ("npx create-db"), regardless of the selected
datasource provider.
* Removed previous conditional behavior so the guidance is now reliably
present after project generation.
  * Improves clarity for users seeking a quick hosted Postgres setup.
