Currently the Ionic Dashboard and ionic CLI init command generate an Ionic v5 project.

**Description:**
The `6.x` release of `ionic` CLI `start` doesn't create a proj… ect/app that uses `ionic` `v6`, but rather it still uses `v5` instead.
Manually updating the dependencies to `v6` results in a blank page, as the boilerplate is not compatible/running with `ionic` `v6`.
**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Install the (latest) `v6` release of the `ionic` CLI (`npm install -g @ionic/cli@6`)
2. Invoke the `ionic` CLI to start/create a new app/project.
3. (I selected react as underlying app framework).
Note that the newly created app/project still uses `ionic` `v5` instead of `v6` (see the generated `package.json`):
```json
"@ionic/react": "^5.5.0",
"@ionic/react-router": "^5.5.0",
"ionicons": "^5.4.0",
````
Just manually updating these packages to `6.x` results in no build/watch or JavaScript console errors,
but a blank page when loading in browser (react), as the generated boilerplate is incompatible with `ionic` `v6`.

## Additional information
The app builder (Ionic Dashboard) creates `v5` apps, too, and not `v6` apps either.
