New

The new command generates a new WDL project. A WDL project consists of a WDL file (which may contain a workflow and any number of tasks), and optionally a Dockerfile, README file(s), and tests (which depend on the pytest-wdl testing framework). The command also generates a Makefile to automate common operations.
