Add option to add README when creating a repo from scratch

A clear and concise description of what the feature or problem is.
When I run gh repo create, and select Create a new repository on GitHub from scratch, it gives me options to add a gitignore and a license, but it doesn't give me an option to add a README, like it does when you create a repository on the GitHub website.

Proposed solution

It will be a good idea to add an option to create a README, and selecting the option should add a title with the name of the repository, like it does in the GitHub website.

How will it benefit CLI and its users?
It will be useful if you want to create a README file along with a gitignore or license, in the first/initial commit.

Additional context

Add any other context like screenshots or mockups are helpful, if applicable.
