Composer create project should support --prefer-dist

[Toflar]

Otherwise the install process is cloning by default.

We will then most likely also need a way to specify the github token. Otherwise it will not help much to prefer dist.

[discordier]

Eh, it already is there... has been introduced by @aschempp in d275f11.
Is it not working for you?

I would like to provide you with the exact task command that was executed but unfortunately these are not logged (yet?).

[discordier]

Well, it is downloading in the beginning and then reverts to cloning. I suspect because of API limit and no oauth token.

[Toflar]

I see. We need to add that then, although I don't know where to place that in the UI on the install screen (once installed, we can put it to the configuration page, yes).

[Toflar]

Not sure if this is the case. Also it says Updating dependencies (including require-dev) which according to @aschempp's commit should not be the case either?

[Toflar]

Ah, this is the install task, sorry.
