Adds GitHubClient.create_repo_from_template(owner, template_repo, name): generate a new private repo under owner from an owner/name template repo, returning the new repo's full_name. Repos are private — the site is served via Cloudflare, not the repo. A 422 for a name already taken under owner returns the full_name, so a retry after a partial failure is idempotent rather than raising. A missing installation on owner raises GitHubAppNotInstalledError, the same typed error the repo-level lookup raises. Owner-installation resolution (org, then user) is shared with list_repos_for_owner via a _owner_installation_id helper. Creating a repo needs the GitHub App to hold Administration: write on the target org, in addition to its existing Contents and Metadata access.
