This pull request enhances use_vignette_*() to provide a version of the vignette suitable for use in a package. It emphasizes overall vignette structure (including package installation instructions, reference to the support site, etc) rather than the features offered by markdown or BiocStyle. Functions gain arguments (e.g., authors = c(person(), person())) for easy production of custom vignettes.

It is partly in response to a Bioconductor community developer forum slack post.

The templating infrastructure under inst/rmarkdown/templates/package_vignette is a little complicated by the desire to provide a templated version for interactive use, and a complete version for RStudio interactive creation. A README.md file in that directory provides update instructions.

- package-specific vignette template
  - emphasize overall structure, rather than BiocStyle features
  - include installation instructions
- add arguments to customize output, e.g., `authors=`
- README.md contains instructions required to keep in sync with RStudio
  interactive selection
- explicit dependency on 'whisker' package was already implicit
- fulfills (partly?) https://community-bioc.slack.com/archives/CLUJWDQF4/p1587422927097500
- requires manual editing on merge to master
- helps distinguish installations from this branch from standard

Hmm, I think I'll revise this a little to augment the original use_vignette_*() functionality, rather than replace it.
