create template still uses https://pyscript.net/alpha/pyscript.js
As the title mentions, HTML template references alpha https://pyscript.net/alpha/pyscript.js.

Ideally, the `create` cmd should be able to hit an API or something so that it can dynamically determine what's the latest release and pin/use that. 

Since we don't have an API right now, the scope of this issue is to pin the latest version statically as `default` value and add a new `create` cmd argument called `pyscript-version` that allows users to specify a different version instead of the `default`
