Add ability to customize models templates

[mixartemev]

It would be very convenient to customize the template itself

[CristianLlanos]

What kind of customisation you have in mind? Do you have an example?

[mixartemev]

I propose move templates from vendor/reliese/laravel/src/Coders/Model/Templates/ to resources/generators/templates/ in user app.
That could he edit templates himself and save it for further use and channging.

Thanks Cristian for making this package available! It is saving me lots time right now.

If anyone else stumbles across this in search for template customization, this might help:
The code already includes an option via the config. The Factory.php->prepareTemplate() looks for *.template.model as an alternative to the default file. Not sure if it is intentional, or a bug, but the config lookup resolves to searching for *.*.template.model so it can be tricky to get it working without knowing that.

Anyhow, this is what I added at the top of my config/model.php file:

'*' => [
    '*' => [
        'template' => array( 
            'model' => app_path('CustomLibsPath') . '/resources/stubs/whatever.stub',
        ),
    ],

whatever.stub just contains the original content from Coders/Model/model plus any customizations. In my case I just wanted to add a simple line in the comment block.

Hope that helps anyone trying to customize the template to a limited extend.
