Title: Install Project command

This PR adds a new command "install-project". It creates a new directory and downloads a given package + version into this directory as skeleton for a new project for example. You can also use it to check out a development version of any package without knowing where exactly the VCS is located by using "--prefer-source". It allows to configure the packagist url or use a packages.json directly.
