Summary:
This PR allows anyone to publish templates for React Native.
It's possible for people to publish modules for React Native, we should also support custom templates. A suggestion from a Cordova mantainer where they did the same thing suggests this is useful:
https://github.com/mkonicek/AppTemplateFeedback/issues/1
I published a sample template [react-native-template-demo](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-template-demo).
(GitHub: https://github.com/mkonicek/react-native-template-demo)
With this PR anyone can then use that template:
`react-native init MyApp --template demo`
The convention is: if someone publishes an npm package called `react-native-template-foo`, people can use it by running `react-native init MyApp --template foo`.
Use a template called `react-native-template-demo` from npm:
`react-native init MyApp --template demo`
Use a local template:
`react-native init MyApp --template file:///path_to/react-native-template-dem

Summary:
Currently it is not trivial for people to get started with React Native. `react-native init MyApp` just creates a simple app with a single screen. People have to spend time figuring out how to add more screens, or how to accomplish very basic tasks such as rendering a list of data or handling text input.
Let's add an option: `react-native init --template navigation` - this creates a "starter" app which can be easily tweaked into the actual app the person wants to build.
**Test plan (required)**
- Checked that 'react-native init MyApp' still works as before:

- Ran 'react-native init MyNavApp --template'. This prints the available templates:
```
$ react-native init MyNavApp
