Create a cookiecutter-like template

[mostafa]

Cookiecutter templates are good for scaffolding new projects based on a template. There are similar projects for Go, like go-scaffold. The idea is to convert this project into a cookiecutter(-like) template and let the gatewayd plugin scaffold/init command take care of creating a project for the user.

Hey @mostafa ,

1-I consider the above directory structure for the templates. Do you agree with the structure?
2-With the introduction of cookiecutter-like templating, the flow for creating plugins will change. Currently, users can fork or use the GitHub template to get started. However, with templating, users will scaffold their plugin in a separate directory/project using this project and the scaffolder command in gatewayd project. Is my assumption correct?

Hey @zeina1i,

1. Yes.
2. I suppose that the gatewayd command will take care of generating a plugin from the template. I can create a separate repo to continue the development of this template-based system. WDYT?
