Eelco Dolstra 810b2c6a48 nix flake init: Add a '--template' flag
The initial contents of the flake is specified by the
'templates.<name>' or 'defaultTemplate' output of another flake. E.g.

  outputs = { self }: {

    templates = {

      nixos-container = {
        path = ./nixos-container;
        description = "An example of a NixOS container";
      };

    };

  };

allows

  $ nix flake init -t templates#nixos-container

Also add a command 'nix flake new', which is identical to 'nix flake
init' except that it initializes a specified directory rather than the
current directory.
