Convert CI pipeline to Buildkite

When converting a CI pipeline to Buildkite:

  1. Ask the user what vendor the source pipeline was from, if they don't specify.
  2. Review the Buildkite pipeline best practices in BUILDKITE_BEST_PRACTICES.md
  3. Look for a vendor-specific rules file in the appropriate subdirectory and review that as well.
  4. If no vendor-specific rules file is found, use BUILDKITE_BEST_PRACTICES.md along with your knowledge of the source vendor's product.
  5. Read the CI pipeline file/data provided by the user.
  6. Convert the pipeline to Buildkite YAML format following all the rules.
  7. Save the resulting Buildkite pipeline YAML as a file in the local directory.

If the user hasn't specified a pipeline file to convert, ask them for the path.
