Hugo new site creates config.toml, not hugo.toml

With Hugo 0.110.0, the default config base filename was changed to hugo.

@bep writes about this:

My primary motivation behind this is to get to a state
where every Hugo project has a hugo.* file

When creating a new site via hugo new site my-site, inside the newly created directory, I still see config.toml created as config file, however. With the goal to eventually have a hugo.* file for every project, shouldn’t we create a hugo.* file as config file for the newly created project?

This is by design. We’ll change what hugo new creates at some point in the future.
