Summary:
This PR allows anyone to publish templates for React Native.
It's possible for people to publish modules for React Native, we should also support custom templates. A suggestion from a Cordova mantainer where they did the same thing suggests this is useful:
https://github.com/mkonicek/AppTemplateFeedback/issues/1
I published a sample template [react-native-template-demo](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-template-demo).
(GitHub: https://github.com/mkonicek/react-native-template-demo)
With this PR anyone can then use that template:
`react-native init MyApp --template demo`
The convention is: if someone publishes an npm package called `react-native-template-foo`, people can use it by running `react-native init MyApp --template foo`.
Use a template called `react-native-template-demo` from npm:
`react-native init MyApp --template demo`
Use a local template:
`react-native init MyApp --template file:///path_to/react-native-template-dem

Summary:
The iOS and Android native folders of a React Native app can be difficult to maintain. This introduces a new workflow for creating and maintaining the native code of your app.
Now it will be possible to:
1. Remove the native iOS or Android folders
2. Create an `app.json` for your app, with at least a `name` and `displayName`
3. Run `react-native eject`, and the native code for your app will be generated
Then, as usual, you can run `react-native run-ios` and `react-native run-android`, to build and launch your app
For apps that don't have any native code, it will be possible to ignore the `ios` and `android` folders from version control.
Eject step tested in RN app by deleting native folders.
mkonicek, what is the best way to test `react-native init`?
As follow-up items, we can enable the following:
- Configuring app icon and launch screen from the `app.json`
- Automatically run `react-native link` for native libraries
- A

**Motivation**
ncuillery Is has a lot of experience with upgrading RN projects (see his [talk](http://www.slideshare.net/ncuillery/introducing-the-new-reactnative-upgrade)) and is rewriting 'react-native upgrade' to use git.
He tells me that we actually want git to merge changes in the .pbxproj file. In his words: "Making the project.pbxproj invisible for "git diff" means that react-native-git-upgrade will never be able to upgrade the project.pbxproj."
Note the git docs explicitly recommend not to use git to merge .pbxproj files: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Attributes#Binary-Files
ncuillery do we have an alternative? Some ideas:
1. Use a 3rd-party tool in 'react-native upgrade' to merge the .pbxproj file?
2. We could always re-generate and overwrite the .pbxproj file (never merge) and then run 'react-native link' to update native 3rd-party dependencies in the Xcode project?
3. Last resort: stay away

Summary:
Followup for CLI rewrite (a477aec10d). See the comment in the code for details.
**Test plan (required)**
- Published to Sinopia locally ([docs](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/tree/master/react-native-cli))
- Ran 'react-native init MyApp', the correct files were created (no more .npmignore, but have .gitignore):
$ cd MyApp
$ ls -a
. .flowconfig __tests__ ios
.. .gitattributes android node_modules
.babelrc .gitignore index.android.js package.json
.buckconfig .watchmanconfig index.ios.js yarn.lock
- Changed .flowconfig, ran 'react-native upgrade'. Saw a prompt "Do you want to overwrite .flowconfig", tried answering first 'n' and then 'y'. When answering 'y' the file was overwritten by the version from the template as expected.

Summary:
This is the manually imported version of https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/10786
This was mostly straigthforward by replacing the local-cli folder with the version I had in my local git checkout,
plus a few other files I listed with git diff --name-only.
