.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`

# create-astro
## Scaffolding for Astro projects
**With NPM:**
```bash
npm create astro@latest
```
**With Yarn:**
```bash
yarn create astro
```
`create-astro` automatically runs in _interactive_ mode, but you can also specify your project name and template with command line arguments.
```bash
# npm 6.x
npm create astro@latest my-astro-project --template starter
# npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed:
npm create astro@latest my-astro-project -- --template starter
# yarn
yarn create astro my-astro-project --template starter
```
[Check out the full list][examples] of example starter templates, available on GitHub.
You can also use any GitHub repo as a template:
```bash
npm create astro@latest my-astro-project -- --template cassidoo/shopify-react-astro
```
### CLI Flags
May be provided in place of prompts
| Name | Description |
|:-------------|:----------------------------------------------------|
| `--template` | Specify the template name ([list][examples]) |
| `--commit` | Specify a specific Git commit or branch to use from this repo (by default, `main` branch of this repo will be used) |
### Debugging
To debug `create-astro`, you can use the `--verbose` flag which will log the output of degit and some more information about the command, this can be useful when you encounter an error and want to report it.
```bash
# npm 6.x
npm create astro@latest my-astro-project --verbose
# npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed:
npm create astro@latest my-astro-project -- --verbose
# yarn
yarn create astro my-astro-project --verbose
```
