This pull request adds a create-feathers package which allows to create a brand new Feathers application by simply running

npm init feathers feathers-chat

It will create a new folder and then run the @feathersjs/cli application generator.

In the new app, the CLI will also be installed locally so all commands are now run via npx feathers. That way every developer uses the version of the CLI installed with the app.

Closes #1501

Rad. I would prefer npm init feathers to generate an app. It will be the most-used generator, compared to a hook or resolver generator, or anything else we could build.

Agreed, it does look nicer. This will probably be the only npm init package since all the other generators will be then run with the locally installed @feathersjs/cli. So the flow would be:

npm init feathers chat
cd chat
npx feathers generate service
npm start
