Adds support for generating new Abscissa apps from a built-in template. Prior to this there was not a template for creating new Abscissa apps, and wiring them up either involved looking through an existing app, or intimate knowledge of how the framework works. This adds a new `abscissa_generator` crate, and also adds a `src/bin/abscissa` making this crate into a binary crate which contains an `abscissa` command-line application (itself a proper Abscissa app!) which will be available when `cargo install abscissa` is used. The application template is implemented using Handlebars, and vendored into the `abscissa_generator` crate (which is not included by applications). The decision to use Handlebars was made after evaluating a few different options for templating rust apps including `cargo-generate` (which looks cool, but it seems like Abscissa could benefit from something which both lives in the same git repo and is more directly integrated with the framework, ala Rails)
