💡 cargo-generate v0.6.0+

Describe the feature

Currently wrangler generate ... calls out to cargo-generate v0.5.0 to template out any files. From v0.6.0+ cargo-generate supports template defined placeholders (aka custom variables) that allows template authors to better customize templates based on user prompts.

Would it be possible to bump the dependency on cargo-generate to at least v0.6.0 (but preferably to the latest release)?

Describe the alternatives

My hack was to copy over a build of cargo-generate (v0.7.0) to $HOME/.cache/.wrangler/cargo-generate-0.5.0/cargo-generate. Not really a solution, but a good way to test out things without making any code changes.

@jashandeep-sohi - thanks for the suggestion! I'll try it out and see if there is any objection to doing this.

I think our blocker right now is that cargo-generate does not distribute already-built binaries through GitHub releases (like it use to)

Hopefully since v0.7.2 it should :wink: https://github.com/cargo-generate/cargo-generate/releases/tag/v0.7.2

Thanks for adding that back @jashandeep-sohi! I'll update our tracking ticket to get this tested. Will update here with progress asap.
