Hook for automatic package generation

[Sparks29032]

Behavior: when user enters a package a.b.c this will create the following directory structure:

src
|--a
   |  __init__.py
   |--b
      |  __init__.py
      |--c
         |  __init__.py
         |  version.py
         |--tests

When only a package name c is given, the structure is simply:

src
|--c
   |  __init__.py
   |  version.py
   |--tests

The following string is used to create the __init__.py files:

f"""#!/usr/bin/env python
##############################################################################

# in the City of New York.  All rights reserved.

#
##############################################################################

\"\"\"Blank namespace package for module {module_name}.\"\"\"

from pkgutil import extend_path

__path__ = extend_path(__path__, __name__)

# End of file

"""

where module_name is the name of the namespace module the __init__.py is nested in.

this looks good to me. A couple of inline comments of a general nature.

now we have tests, can we set up CI in the cookiecutter repo itself? Also a pre-commit check?

I think there is a pre-commit check already for the cookiecutter repo. Does running pre-commit . in the root of this repo start it up?

I have it running locally (run pre-commit install) but it didn't run in CI on the PR
