Replace npx with npm init

Closed Nick McCurdy requested to merge github/fork/nickmccurdy/replace-npx into master

npx create-react-app is now npx init react-app

Rationale

  • Shorter and easier to type (no accidental npm create-react-app)
  • Officially suggested by npm changelog
  • npm 6, which this was introduced in, is now over 2 years old and is very likely to already be installed
  • More consistent with old school npm init and the more recent yarn create
  • Uses the same syntax as other create- packages
