Repository: JoshuaKGoldberg/create-typescript-app (ts)

Issue:
🐛 Bug: Should use pnpx, not npx, to install
### Bug Report Checklist

- [X] I have tried restarting my IDE and the issue persists.
- [X] I have pulled the latest `main` branch of the repository.
- [X] I have [searched for related issues](https://github.com/JoshuaKGoldberg/create-typescript-app/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and found none that matched my issue.

### Expected

Since `pnpm add`, `pnpm install`, and other `pnpm` commands are used to manage packages, `pnpx` should be used to execute dependencies in terminals.

### Actual

`npx` is used, which means sometimes a script can't be found. I've seen `all-contributors: cannot be found` errors running `npx all-contributors-cli`.

### Additional Info
