Benchling Entry Template API

A template used to create new `DocumentLike` objects with pre-populated content and structure. `EntryTemplate`s contain boilerplate text, tables, placeholders, and other note content that provides a consistent starting point for documentation. When a new `DocumentLike` object is created from a template, the template's content is cloned into the new object. Templates can optionally have an `EntrySchema` to ensure created objects capture required metadata. typeemplates belong to a `TemplateCollection` and support versioned publishing (see `PublishingRecord`). In the UI, these are typically called "Templates" within the Template Collections feature.
