Create new day template

There is a script, which creates new golang module for current day. It demands three input arguments:

1. Your AoC session cookie
2. Number of new day

Session cookie needs to be set for input and name of day downloading. You need to have aocdl go package:

go get -u github.com/GreenLightning/advent-of-code-downloader/aocdl

Example script running:

cd tools
bash newDay.sh "<your_AoC_session_cookie>" 1

Remember to sync new go module (go.mod [PPM] -> Sync Go Module)
