My wisi package has a menu of defined projects, allowing the user to
choose which one is the "current project"; it shows a project name,
which is currently defined in the wisi project type.
wisi also has a command to delete a project definition, which prompts
for a project, completing on the project name.
eglot needs to identify projects; it currently uses the project root,
which is not always the best way.
The current project.el assumes that projects are only identified by
"project-current" in some buffer, so there isn't anywhere in the current
code that would use this. Adding it is mainly for extensions like wisi
and eglot.
