Description
## Problem
Toolkit has various "create new file" commands:
- `AWS: Create new CloudFormation Template`
- `AWS: Create new SAM Template`

## Expected behavior
Hook into vscode's `Create: New File...` command instead of implementing bespoke commands.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the implementations and registrations for the AWS: Create new CloudFormation Template and AWS: Create new SAM Template commands in the extension. Read how those commands create files, then trace the VS Code Create: New File... integration point. Done means the existing template choices are available through that command without relying on bespoke commands.
