Jan Novak 5717f018b7 chore: initial scaffold for latprobe CLI tool
Sets up project structure, working conventions (CLAUDE.md), README with
the full assignment and roadmap, seeded CHANGELOG, and a buildable Go
scaffold (Step 0) with flag parsing and stub probe types.

Step 0 — Scaffold

What this step delivers

A buildable Go binary (latprobe) that parses flags and URLs, prints usage when invoked without arguments, and exits cleanly. No measurement logic yet — the full implementation is wired in during Steps 14.

Build

cd go
go build -o latprobe .

Usage

# No arguments → prints usage and exits with code 1
./latprobe

# With a URL → scaffold message until Step 1 is implemented
./latprobe https://example.com

Expected output (scaffold stage):

latprobe — measure per-phase HTTP request latency

Usage:
  latprobe [flags] <url> [url ...]

Flags:
  -n, --count int   Number of requests per URL (default 1)
      --json        Output results as JSON instead of text
  -h, --help        Show this help

Examples:
  latprobe https://example.com
  latprobe -n 5 https://example.com https://www.google.com
  latprobe --json https://example.com | jq .

Available flags (accepted by the parser, not yet functional)

Flag Short Default Description
--count -n 1 Number of requests per URL
--json false Output as JSON instead of text
--help -h Show usage
