Repository: JoshuaKGoldberg/create-typescript-app (ts)

Issue:
🚀 Feature: Add a 'usage' option for README.md contents
### Bug Report Checklist

- [X] I have pulled the latest `main` branch of the repository.
- [X] I have [searched for related issues](https://github.com/JoshuaKGoldberg/create-typescript-app/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and found none that matched my issue.

### Overview

Every repository I've templated with CTA has customized the `## Usage` section of the `README.md` file in some way. This will need to be an inferable option for the new `create` engine. That way, when folks run `npx create typescript-app` in an existing repo, it won't clobber over their README.md contents.

chore: add usage option for create engine
## PR Checklist

- [x] Addresses an existing open issue: fixes #1821
- [x] That issue was marked as [`status: accepting prs`](https://github.com/JoshuaKGoldberg/create-typescript-app/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22status%3A+accepting+prs%22)
- [x] Steps in [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/JoshuaKGoldberg/create-typescript-app/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) were taken

## Overview

Marking as `chore:` because this is only for the new `create` Blocks engine.
