Save template to Word2007 about phpword

@gmercey, it's a good question. Current version of Template saves only XML came from template file. There is no way to work with Template as with set of objects (tables, paragraphs, etc.) like we can with do with Document.

@Progi1984, please assign this to me. I will look what can be done with that. Also I would like you to replan this for some release next to 0.7.2. Possible?

I just realize that the solution in #210 might be applicable here. @gmercey, can you please check? Thanks.

What do you mean?

You can save the template to a temp docx and read the temp using the reader. Something like below:

$document = $phpWord->loadTemplate('template.docx');

// Process the template ...

$document->saveAs('temp.docx'); // Save to temp file
$phpWord = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::load('temp.docx'); // Read the temp file

// Do something with the phpWord object ...

unlink('temp.docx'); // Delete the temp file

There is nothing new here. This is how template processor works with XML now. ;)
