chore(examples): use default prettier for examples/templates (#60530)
## Description
This PR ensures that the default prettier config is used for examples
and templates.

This config is compatible with `prettier@3` as well (upgrading prettier
is bigger change that can be a future PR).

## Changes
- Updated `.prettierrc.json` in root with `"trailingComma": "es5"` (will
be needed upgrading to prettier@3)
- Added `examples/.prettierrc.json` with default config (this will
change every example)
- Added `packages/create-next-app/templates/.prettierrc.json` with
default config (this will change every template)

# Absolute Imports and Aliases
This example shows how to configure [Absolute imports and Module path aliases](https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/module-path-aliases) in `tsconfig.json` (or `jsconfig.json` for JavaScript projects). These options will allow absolute imports from `.` (the root directory), and allow you to create custom import aliases.
If youre working on a large project, your relative import statements might suffer from `../../../` spaghetti:
```tsx
import Button from "../../../components/button";
```
In such cases, we might want to setup absolute imports using the `baseUrl` option, for clearer and shorter imports:
```tsx
import Button from "components/button";
```
Furthermore, TypeScript also supports the `paths` option, which allows you to configure custom module aliases. You can then use your alias like so:
```tsx
import Button from "@/components/button";
```
