Depend more on usethis package, including the create_from_github() #26

I wonder about simplifying bcgovr to rely more on the usethis package, including a function that both opens a GH repo & clones the repo locally e.g. usethis::create_from_github. This is still a friction point for users, in my opinion. I know we are already using some elements of usethis under the hood, but I wonder if we could rely more on this maturing rstudio package and strip down bcgovr for delivery of only the bcgov-specific set-up tasks?

As we near the completion of implementing this enhancement, I wonder about adding a create_from_bcgov_github function? I think many users will open an origin in bcgov GitHub and then move to their machine to start a local?

💯 I think it's the final piece in our current vision

And so we are done.
