Relates tocoder/internal#893

Instead ofcoder task create <template> --input <input>, it is nowcoder task create <input> --template <template>.

If there is only one AI task template on the deployment, the--template parameter can be omitted.

I think this new approach will ultimately be better, thanks for implementing! Some feedback inline.

Thanks <3. 🚢

Should we mark this as breaking change?

Does it mean we can start a task without an input? i.e., an empty prompt? Should we allow that?

I think this may end up happening in a prebuild scenario?

Maybe, yes. Prebuilds are tricky.

I don't think we should start tasks without input necessarily, but who's to say there isn't a default input that's only controlled by e.g. template parameters. This was one motivation that--input was made a flag previously.

No need, this is exactly why we placed these underexp. No announcement for release yet either.

But many of our customers are using Tasks. So I was just being extra cautious not to break their workflows without any information.exp gives us the freedom to break, but we should still announce this commit as a breaking change in the changelog.

I don't have a strong opinion. We don't documentexp commands and we haven't advertised the tasks CLI commands in the release. But if you feel it should be called out then let's do it. 👍🏻 (@DanielleMaywood, didcreate slip into the release?)
