Create a new article

My personal rule when creating a new article.

npx zenn new:article --title "Setup Zenn CLI on Ubuntu 22.04"
created: articles/f92892a229bd90.md

Rename article file name to have human-readable slug as a prefix.

mv articles/f92892a229bd90.md articles/setup-zenn-cli-ubuntu-f92892a229bd90.md

The option --slug can specify the file name but it doesn't have random strings.
It's nice for me to have a random string in a new article file name.
