fix: correctly sync initially untracked local documents

Addresses the issue where newly created files, or existing files that
were opened for the first time while sync was running, did not
propagate their initial state to the peer correctly.

- The `update_doc_from_file` and `load_or_create_doc` routines now
  detect and load the initial plaintext directly into the Automerge
  `ObjType::Text` before emitting the first sync payload.
- Fixed the receiver side to automatically construct parent directories
  and a dummy file stub when receiving a payload for a completely
  unknown path before attempting to apply the CRDT data.
