Project templates API

This API is a project-specific version of these endpoints:

It deprecates these endpoints, which will be removed for API version 5.

In addition to templates common to the entire instance, project-specific templates are also available from this API endpoint.

Support will be added for Issue and Merge Request templates in a future release.

Support for Group-level file templates (PREMIUM) was added in GitLab 11.5
