### What?
This PR introduces a new `--tailwind` flag to the `create-next-app` CLI,
to make it easier to bootstrap a Next.js app with Tailwind CSS
pre-configured. This is going to be the **default**. To opt-out of
Tailwind CSS, you can use the `--no-tailwind` flag.
### Why?
Tailwind CSS is one of the most popular styling solutions right now, and
we would like to make it easier to get started.
Currently, the closest you can come to this is by running `pnpm create
next-app -e with-tailwindcss` which will clone the
https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-tailwindcss
example. But that example is not configured for the App Router. This PR
will let you add Tailwind CSS to both `app/`, `pages/`, and start out
with TypeScript or JavaScript via the CLI prompts.

### How?
We are adding 4 new templates to the CLI bundle.
> Note: The styling is not pixel-perfect compared to the current
templates (using CSS modules) to require fewer overrides, but I tried to
match it as close as possible. Here are a few screenshots:

#### For reviewers
This introduces 4 new templates, with a very similar code base to the
original ones. To keep the PR focused, I decided to copy over duplicate
code, but we could potentially create a shared folder for files that are
the same across templates to somewhat reduce the CLI size. Not sure if
it's worth it, let me know. Probably fine for now, but something to
consider if we are adding more permutations in the future.

Resubmitting this PR following this comment from Tim. This work has been done already and we can build off of it to get this in faster.
> Just to be clear we're planning to rework create-next-app to give you the option to choose between JavaScript or TypeScript so it'll solve this request. For `app` right now it'll stay TypeScript till that is implemented.

I added the `--ts, --typescript` flag to `create-next-app` in https://github.com/vercel/next.js/pull/24655, and since then I have seen it used very frequently, including in recent issues (such as https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/33314) and most Next.js tutorials on YouTube. I noticed the template logic added in this PR was also used to add the `appDir` configuration as well.
We discussed a while ago adding the following user flow:
- `create-next-app --js, --javascript` creates a JS project
- `create-next-app --ts, --typescript` creates a TS project
- `create-next-app [name]` (no `--js, --ts`) prompts the user to choose either JS or TS, with TS selected by default.
### Review
Adding support for appDir and refactoring the templates brought the pain-of-review up a bit, but it's not so bad when broken into increments.
The original 8-file diff is here:
1f47d9b0bf
And the PR that brought the diff up to 59 files (mostly owed to `app` template dirs and file structure refactors):

We found a case where 14.0.0 breaking with private class methods, such
as:
```js
class C {
#x() { return 42; }
x() {
return this.#x();
}
}
```
This feature was introduced in Node.js 14.6.0, so we can bump the
minimum version.
See https://node.green
As discussed this updates our required minimum Node.js version to `v14` as `v12` is no longer being maintained. Since our targets for babel and swc already target the actively used Node.js version no change has been made there.
