Add support for using npm packages as templates when creating new projects. This feature allows users to specify custom templates from npm registry with optional version control. Key features: - Support multiple npm template formats (npm:, @scope/package, package-name) - Add --template-version flag for version specification - Implement smart caching mechanism (.temp-templates/) - Support flexible template structures (template/, templates/app/, root) - Isolated installation to prevent workspace conflicts - Export utility functions for downstream projects Example usage: npm create rsbuild@latest my-project -- --template my-template npm create rsbuild@latest my-project -- --template @scope/template npm create rsbuild@latest my-project -- --template my-template --template-version 1.2.3 API exports: - isNpmTemplate() - resolveCustomTemplate() - resolveNpmTemplate() - sanitizeCacheKey() Inspired by sparkling's npm template implementation.
