Bjørn Erik Pedersen 662e12f348 commands, create: Add .Site to the archetype templates
This commit completes the "The Revival of the Archetypes!"

If `.Site` is used in the arcetype template, the site is built and added to the template context.

Note that this may be potentially time consuming for big sites.

A more complete example would then be for the section `newsletter` and the archetype file `archetypes/newsletter.md`:

```
---
title: "{{ replace .TranslationBaseName "-" " " | title }}"
date: {{ .Date }}
tags:
- x
categories:
- x
draft: true
---

<!--more-->

{{ range first 10 ( where .Site.RegularPages "Type" "cool" ) }}
* {{ .Title }}
{{ end }}
```

And then create a new post with:

```bash
hugo new newsletter/the-latest-cool.stuff.md
```

**Hot Tip:** If you set the `newContentEditor` configuration variable to an editor on your `PATH`, the newly created article will be opened.

The above _newsletter type archetype_ illustrates the possibilities: The full Hugo `.Site` and all of Hugo's template funcs can be used in the archetype file.

Bjørn Erik Pedersen 422057f607 create: Use archetype template as-is as a Go template
This commit removes the fragile front matter decoding, and takes the provided archetype file as-is and processes it as a template.

This also means that we no longer will attempt to fill in default values for `title` and `date`.

The upside is that it is now easy to create these values in a dynamic way:

```toml
+++
title = {{ .BaseFileName | title }}
date = {{ .Date }}
draft = true
+++
```

You can currently use all of Hugo's template funcs, but the data context is currently very shallow:

* `.Type` gives the archetype kind provided
* `.Name` gives the target file name without extension.
* `.Path` gives the target file name
* `.Date` gives the current time as RFC3339 formatted string

The above  will probably be extended in #1629.
