.md only: npm init astro --> npm create astro (#4760)
* .md only: npm init astro --> npm create astro

For consistency with https://github.com/withastro/docs/pull/360. Docs always use `npm create astro` (never `npm init astro`), README.md files in this repo should do the same.

Search:
`\b(npm|yarn|pnpm) init astro\b`
Replace:
`$1 create astro`

Except for two instances:

1. `packages/create-astro/CHANGELOG.md` -- skipped because changelog.

2. `packages/create-astro/test/create-astro.test.js.skipped` -- skipped, old test disabled in https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/3168.

* docs: add `@latest` to `npm create astro`
