Prompt to Install Dependencies after new project from a template is created to get started with the new Evidence app

We now have a working template project users can create and run after reworking that onboarding UX flow in #55.

However, users need to click on the Evidence dev server status button to install node.js app dependencies and get started with the sample app.

  • We'll add a prompt to Install Dependencies after template project files are cloned from an Evidence app template github Url
  • We'll copy over the existing prompt we have on activation startup, check for node.js version, presence of node_modules, etc. See #53 for more info.
  • Will create new src/views/prompts.ts to host this install dependencies prompt for now, and others later
  • Also, need to add proper title to the template repository Url prompt

Added new Template Repository Url title to the github repository Url prompt:

Note: this feature can be used with any valid Evidence application template or repository, so that your clients and users can create and use there own.
