[WOC] Implement Custom Authentication template

[priyansh-narang2308]

description

This PR resolves issue #109 by introducing a new express_auth template in the CLI. It’s meant to act as a clean, production-ready base for projects that need authentication without extra setup.

what’s there

• complete signup and login flow
• mongoDB (Mongoose) integration with secure password hashing using bcryptjs
• jWT-based authentication with token creation and a protect middleware
• sample protected route (/profile) to show token verification in action

tow to test

1. run node bin/index.js init
2. choose the express_auth template
3. start the server(locally orvia Docker Compose)
4. Test:
   • /api/auth/register
   • /api/auth/login
   • /api/auth/profile

Register Flow (already exisiting()

Login with that token and the /profile to view success

Closes: #109
