`update-template` is deprecated and hasn't been updated for 4 years

I feel as though a pure-Python version of this shouldn't be too challenging to write (given how simple the template's use-case is), and would save a dependency on Node & npx

BTW is it working for you currently? Whenever I run it, it likes to remove its own .templaterc.json with the changes, so it doesn't know what to update next time — I always have to keep that removal out of the diff for it to work again 🙈

Maybe the .templatetc.json file itself needs to be included in the .templatetc.json? Not sure (haven't actually run the tool as I don't have Node installed, and I'm currently working on onboarding projects instead of updating them)
