Description
This should replace the current "make a repository using a template" workflow.
For now, it can just download the code from the current research template.
The reason this is better is that it allows us to grow new command line options, for example, for updating the GHA tests; it also means we don't have to explain what a Github template is, etc.
The documentation should also be updated. Also here

Research direction
Start by locating the CLI entry point and the code behind the current repository-from-template workflow. Review the current research template URL and the linked workflow-make-repo and workflow documentation; done means an init subcommand downloads that template and both documentation pages describe the new workflow.
