Feature request: Github template repo

[Hanaasagi]

Template repository is a quick way to generate new repositories with the same directory structure, branches, and files. And Github REST API gives a way to using this feature:

Creating and using repository templates is currently available for developers to preview. To access this new endpoint during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.baptiste-preview+json

I think the change involves:

1. Add is_template property in Repository class
2. Add is_template param in Repository.edit method
3. Add new function create_repo_from_template

@s-t-e-v-e-n-k What do you think about it?

I need this as well. I don't mind sending a PR. How do I go about doing this roughly? How do I add unit test for this behavior?
