Feature to save generate cloudformation templates files

Subject of the issue

When debugging we typically use the generate command to output the generated cloudformation template files to standard out. This is fine when generating one or a few templates however it's not as useful when generating a group of templates which can consist of a bunch of templates. It would be nice to have an option to store all of the generated templates into a folder locally so that further inspection can be applied to each template. The AWS CDK does this and outputs all templates to a cdk.out folder. Each generated cloudformation template filename would be the name of the stack.

Expected behaviour

sceptre generate --output template-output

generated cloudformations template files save in a template-output folder. each filename is the stack name:

template-output
|
-- my-vpc.yaml
-- my-ec2.yaml

That seems like a cool option.

I have an immediate use for this.
