Use fleetctl new templates for new instances (#42768)
<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or
remove if NA -->
**Related issue:** Resolves #41409 

# Details

This PR updates the `ApplyStarterLibrary` method and functionality to
rely on the same templates and mechanisms as `fleetctl new`. The end
result is that running `fleetctl new` and `fleetctl gitops` on a new
instance should be a no-op; no changes should be made. Similarly,
changing the templates in a Fleet release will automatically affect
`fleetctl new` and `ApplyStarterLibrary` in the same exact way for that
release.

> Note that this moves the template files out of `fleetctl` and into
their own shared package. This move comprises the majority of the file
changes in the PR.

will fail until the 4.83 Fleet docker image is published, since it's
trying to push 4.83 config (including `exceptions`) to a 4.82 server.

- [X] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually
- [X] Created a new instance and validated that the fleets, policies and
labels created matched the ones created by `fleetctl new`
- [X] Ran `fleetctl new` and verified that it created the expected
folders and files
- [X] Ran `fleetctl gitops` with the files created by `fleetctl new` and
verified that the instance was unchanged.
- [X] Ran `fleetctl preview` successfully using a dev build of the Fleet
server image (since it won't work against the latest published build,
which doesn't support `exceptions`). Verified it shows the expected
teams, policies and labels
