azd init -t [template] to generate a folder by default, with name [template]

[anfibiacreativa]

Right now, when running azd init -t [template] , the code gets copied to the folder the devs are at. I am not sure how tools for other languages work, but both cloning a repo, or using npm init(create@[tool]) generate a folder with project name.

I propose the following

• In azd general config, ability to set a --root flag when devs want the code copied to the same directory they're executing the command on, otherwise create a folder with name == template name
• the --root can be passed as argument

IIRC, we decided to use the current folder so you can immediately run azd up after azd init; without running cd folder first.

If you want to use a new folder, you can first create that folder and then use -C ./folderName, like

mkdir folder-name
azd init -t todo-nodejs-mongo -C ./folderName

The arg -C or -cwd is a global flag for all azd commands

One thing we could do is ask the user if they want to create the folder if it is not found; instead of failing and expecting the folder to exists.
