Generating WordPress project type

[luboskmetko]

Generating WP project will involve things like:

• install WordPress & Timber
• create theme folder from name-slug
• copy template files to the theme folder
• copy Timber base theme files
• remove Gulp templates task (as Twig templates are supported by Timber)
• add custom assetPath function to Twig to load default or revisioned styles/scripts, decide when to load which one (proxy test?)
• do not create project index when running page subgenerator
• allow custom wp-config and other setup
• adjust coding style to codex (tabs?)

Composer would be probably the best option to manage WP, Timber and plugins as dependencies. A couple of resources:

@luboskmetko our back-end dev Kuba have setup Timber with WP recently for Chisel-generated project. I'll ping him so he can provide some information on the changes he made, so we could set that up faster.

@jakub300 I'd like to assign you to this task (although GitHub doesn't allow me to do it 😢). @luboskmetko and Kuba from our office will guide you through the concepts and an implementation plan.
