Title: Added --no-install option to create-project command

Added a --no-install option to the create-project command that
skips installation of the dependencies in the newly created
project.

Use-case is failing dependencies check on PHP extensions, because the project would actually be developed in a virtual machine.

Passing this option allows you to skip installation of the dependencies until after your development environment has been completely set up.
