docs(upstream): triage stevearc/oil.nvim#280 and consolidate #325 (#166)

Browse source 
* docs(upstream): consolidate stevearc/oil.nvim#325 into #164

Problem: upstream #325 (spurious "could not find parent window" warning
on startup) was still marked open in the tracker.

Solution: created canola.nvim#164 to track the `WinNew`/`BufEnter`
race condition and updated the tracker status.

* docs(upstream): triage stevearc/oil.nvim#280 as not actionable

Problem: upstream #280 (vim-projectionist support) was still marked
open. `BufNewFile` does not fire for oil-created files because the
file already exists on disk by the time it is opened.

Solution: the `OilFileCreated` user event is the correct hook point.
Added an `oil-recipe-file-templates` recipe documenting both a simple
template approach and a precise vim-projectionist shim via
`OilFileCreated`. Updated the tracker status.

* docs(upstream): close PR #721 as not actionable

`OilFileCreated` already covers the use case addressed by the
`create_hook` draft PR.
