Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

"workspace" is not one of the supported types that can be passed to the dev-create script although it is one of the plugin types we describe in our documentation.

Describe the solution you'd like

Support passing "workspace" as a type.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Don't support it and developers use the "plugin" type and then manually rename their plugin.

This issue has a few steps to resolve:

1. Figure out how to test your changes. Navigate to the plugins/dev-create directory. Run the command npx . test -d . --skip-install --type workspace and observe how you get the error.

Unknown plugin type: workspace
Available types: plugin, field, block, theme

2. Modify the code in plugins/dev-create/bin/create.js to include the new plugin type 'workspace'.
3. Copy one of the existing templates under plugins/dev-create/templates (e.g. "field") and rename it to "workspace".
4. Rename all instances of the old template name (e.g. "field") to the new name "workspace".
5. Run the npx . test -d . --skip-install --type workspace command again, and verify that it properly creates a directory using your new template.
6. Open your PR and resolve any PR comments.

After your PR is accepted, developers creating Blockly plugin will be able to easily create workspace-style plugins =)

Going to hold off on this one for now since create-package should be changing soon.
