bug#69584: 29.2.50; project-find-functions should have access to maybe-prompt

[Spencer Baugh]

I'd like to write a project-find-function which might prompt when
called, and so to suppress that prompting I'd like to be able to check
the maybe-prompt argument that project-current received.

Possible new functions for project-find-functions which would benefit
from this:

- A local project-find-function in a version control buffer for viewing
a branch log; if the branch is not currently checked out, prompt to
check out that branch (or create a worktree for it) before returning the
project

- A local project-find-function in a buffer from a package for Git
forges; if the buffer corresponds to a repository which is not currently
cloned locally, prompt to clone the repository.

These behaviors should of course be suppressed if maybe-prompt is nil,
which is why it would be nice to be able to access maybe-prompt.

Since adding a new argument to project-find-functions is hard, maybe we
could do this by introducing a new dynamic variable
project-find-functions-may-prompt which we let-bind?  Like:

diff --git a/lisp/progmodes/project.el b/lisp/progmodes/project.el
index c7c07c3d34c..3975182b88d 100644
