Feature: specify subdir in repo as template

solves / relates to #47 #78 #211 #291

TL;DR: a subfolder (e.g. examples/template) of a given git repo can be used for templating

In the following example we assume the subfolder tests/integration/helpers contain some template:

cargo generate --git https://github.com/cargo-generate/cargo-generate   tests/integration/helpers

The great thing is that library / tool authors are now enabled to ship their templates as part of e.g.
the examples/ folder directly from within their main repository.
