Replace Template Repository with Cookiecutter Template #86

Hello!

Issue details

After watching @rawkode and @stack72 video on creating a Pulumi provider using TF Bridge, and also based on my own experience creating two such providers (pulumi-azuredevops and pulumi-time) from the pulumi-tf-provider-boilerplate and how many pitfalls and manual rework is required, I created a Cookiecutter template to create such a provider.

Just by specifying some configuration settings it is possible to create a first version of the Pulumi provider very quickly, even including the necessary GitHub workflows and a SHIM class if the Terraform provider is hidden in a Go internal package.

The Cookiecutter template has still some raw edges, especially no documentation right now :grin: but I tested it successfully in creating Pulumi Providers out of Terraform AzureDevOps und Terraform Time.

So perhaps this boilerplate repository could be replaced by the Cookiecutter template.
