Ability to run Counterfact without OpenAPI

[pmcelhaney]

Counterfact works fine without an OpenAPI description. It just won't generate code for you. You have to create JavaScript* files manually under the paths directory. The easiest way to implement is to supply an empty OpenAPI object if no file is given. In the CLI, a - can stand for the empty OpenAPI object.

npx counterfact - ./api 

The - could become the default value for the OpenAPI file path argument. If you're happy for files to be in the default location (the current working directory), it could be run with no arguments at all.

npx counterfact

*Either JavaScript or TypeScript would work, but TypeScript without the automatically generated types would not be fun.

Running without OpenApi would easier with one of the archived recording features:

#451
or
#452

Then you could just turn on proxy, start recording, and have it build out your files (if not your types). Just mentioning here to possibly bump up those archived feature requests for later discussion.

Thanks. I reopened #452. At this point I don't have a clear vision of how to move forward with it. It may become clear after #723 is done.
