Description

Tech Debt

We've included .serviceignore (#784) and install.bat (#789) files to the existing Python measurement plug-in examples but the plugin generator's template is not updated to accommodate those changes yet.

Update the plugin generator to produce .serviceignore and install.bat files when the user tries to generate a measurement.

Research direction

Start in packages/generator/ni_measurement_plugin_sdk_generator/plugin/templates and compare the generator templates with the existing Python measurement plug-in examples that include .serviceignore and install.bat. Update the generator templates so a generated measurement includes both files, then verify the generated output contains them.
