fix(setup): stop fork clones from filing issues on the upstream repo by default (#389) (#392)

gh repo fork --clone - SETUP.md's own fork command - sets the upstream
repo as gh's default repository, which gh uses for creating issues and
PRs. A user's own automation running gh issue create from a fork clone
therefore published personal job-search data on the upstream public
tracker. SETUP.md section 2 now includes gh repo set-default in the fork
commands with a point-of-decision warning, and .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/
carries the same heads-up the PR template already had for the web path.
Blank issues stay enabled.

### Fixed
- **Fork clones no longer point `gh issue create` at the upstream public tracker
undetected** (#389) - `gh repo fork --clone`, the exact command SETUP.md's fork step
recommends, sets the *upstream* repo as gh's default repository, and gh uses the
default for creating issues and PRs - so a user's own automation ("file a tracking
issue per application") silently published personal job-search data on the upstream
repo, under the user's identity, where they cannot delete it (four live instances from
two users in one week). SETUP.md section 2 now adds `gh repo set-default
<your-username>/ai-job-search` directly to the fork commands with a warning at the
point of decision (the #348 pattern), and a new `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/` carries the
same heads-up the PR template already had, for the web-UI path. Blank issues stay
enabled - the template warns, it does not gatekeep.
- **`freehire-search` fractional numeric flags no longer silently change the query** (#373) -
`parseIntFlag` used bare `parseInt`, so a fractional value was truncated instead of
rejected: `--jobage 0.5` became `0`, failed the `jobage > 0` guard, and the
