to allow users to set their own local or remote Evidence template Url in extension Settings.

add evidence.templateProjectUrl string setting to package.json
default it to the Evidence template github repo Url for now
use this new evidence.templateProjectUrl setting in project.ts when creating new projects
check for file:// or https:// template project Uri scheme to determine if we need to load it from local file system or github repo via cloning added in #48
test it with cloned Evidence template repo and local fs
update #48 to either copy local project folder or clone it from github based on the template Url scheme entered in the displayed template Url prompt
test new embedded Evidence project /template added in #61 by changing this setting to /template extension folder path
update Settings section in README.md with this new setting info
change this setting to use new embedded /template folder by default for faster New Evidence Project and Evidence Project from Template project creation and onboarding user experience.
