 This contribution implements a new function that retrieves the ID or
 permalink of a page based on its assigned template. The function performs
 a query to find pages using a specific template and returns either the ID
 or permalink of the first matching page.

 ### Details:
 - The function `get_page_by_template()` accepts two parameters:
 `$template` (the template name) and `$field` (which can be 'ID' for the
 page ID or 'permalink' for the page URL).
 - It uses `WP_Query` to search for pages with the specified template.
 - The function returns either the page ID or permalink based on the
 `$field` argument.

 ### Benefits:
 - Provides an easy way to retrieve a page by its template, improving
 flexibility for theme and plugin developers.
 - Reduces the need for custom queries in theme files.
 - Helps in dynamically linking or referencing pages based on their
 template.
