Implement useful error message for original `cookiecutter` command #191

Once this repo is renamed and the napari-plugin-template is live, we should implement a meaningful error message for when someone tries to run the old command, referencing the cookiecutter-napari-plugin repo.

Perhaps we remake the cookiecutter repo after renaming this one, and have it throw a meaningful error, or perhaps we rely on GitHub's redirect and just add the dummy cookiecutter config with the error message?
