Global CLI, init command

[jaredpalmer]

• Make a globally installable CLI Like CRA's that never needs to be upgraded as it is just a wrapper around the latest version of backpack-core.
• Add backpack init command with template

Could this be aligned with the new yarn create feature? https://yarnpkg.com/blog/2017/05/12/introducing-yarn/

Sure, it will be pleasant to work with only for yarn users, but it will also eliminate issues with globally installed packages.

yarn create effectively just runs yarn global add create-${args[1]} && create-${args[1]} ${...args[2:]}, so it should be just fine for non yarn users to just npm i -g create-backpack-app && create-backpack-app my-app.

Has anything happened on this issue since it was marked in progress? I'd be interested to start the effort and contribute that if it hasn't been started already.

Nevermind, looks like this has started on #34
