Feature Request: WP core download with no content

[AaronRutley]

Hi 👋

Aaron here, I'm a big fan of WP-CLI !

I'd really like to be able to install WordPress without any default themes or plugins.

I can see the 'no content' zip is available at this endpoint:
https://api.wordpress.org/core/version-check/1.7/

Something like wp core download --no_content would be awesome!

Yes, agree this would be worthwhile.

It should be a flag --content that defaults to true. This way, --no-content will disable it. Also, you'll be able to use content: true or content: false in config files.

Great! I'm keen to help on a PR.

I've just been doing some testing on a bash script that I have to automate installs.
I'm able to get my wp install down from 4.7 seconds to 1.3 seconds if I use the no-content zip!

--skip-content would be the more appropriate flag.

@AaronRutley I'm now amenable to the idea if you'd like to invest time into it.
