Create-Federation

The create-federation command accepts the same flags as the create-app command, and follows mostly the same behavior. The key difference is that this command accepts multiple project names following the services flag, and will generate a project (with the specified profile and features) for each name supplied. The [NAME] argument will be used to create the top-level multi-project build for the federation.
