Description
Update the Firestore init() flow to handle non-default databases, by allowing the user to input the name of the database they want to initialize.
This is a catch for older projects created in Cloud, which have a (default) non-Firestore Native database in their projects before they add Firebase. New projects shouldn't be affected by this change.
The only other thought I had was maybe it would be better to have input of database name during init by default but defaulting to (default) with option to enter your own without first hitting a 404.
Scenarios Tested
Projects created with older (default) database, deleting that and creating a new Firestore database with a different name.
Sample Commands
Nothing new, just additional ask for database name if (default) doesnt exist, which would fail out without reason previously.
