Spatial Focus initialize project wizard

Initialize an empty folder for a new project by copying and modifying files from our repository-template. This includes:

• .gitignore and .editorconfig
• stylecop.json and ReSharper settings
• MSBuild properties
• Solution file including the default Solution Items solution folder
• README.md

Placeholders in these files will be filled with solution name and author information.

Additionally, the wizard supports the creation of .NET Core projects in the solution. Currently, these project templates are available:

1. Console app
2. Empty web
3. Web API
4. Web MVC
5. Xamarin Forms Shell (using our Xamarin Forms Shell template)
6. Blazor Server
7. Blazor Wasm

After setting up one of these demo projects, typical generic projects can be added as well:

• Business (class library for business logic)
• Shared (class library for shared data)
• Test (xUnit test project)
