DjangoTemplates app_dirname does not apply to app directories

[Dutcher]

Each backend defines a conventional name for the subdirectory inside applications where its templates should be stored

​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/templates/#configuration

The DjangoTemplates class allows for adjusting the name of the folder in which templates are found, but the template loaders do not take this into account. In particular the App Directory Template Loader the folder name ("textures" is currently hardcoded and immutable without writing a custom loader. I think it's better if the code allows for setting the folder name as input upon instance creation:

template/loaders/app_directories.py

from .filesystem import Loader as FilesystemLoader

class Loader(FilesystemLoader):
    def __init__(self, engine, dir_name=None):
         self.dir_name = dir_name or "templates"
         super(Loader).__init__(engine)

    def get_dirs(self):
        return get_app_template_dirs(self.dir_name)

Edit: PR availlable: ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/15676
It is my first PR on django, so feedback is welcome :)

Thanks for this ticket, however it looks quite niche and not worth maintaining by Django itself. Creating a small custom loader seems justified in you cannot keep templates in the templates directory.
