Returns the ABMI 1 km reference grid for Alberta as a template
SpatRaster: 1234 rows by 695 columns of 1000 m cells in
ab_crs(). Cells belonging to the grid (those covering Alberta)
hold the value 1; cells outside the province are NA.
Details
This is the default reference grid for check_alignment(),
resample_to_grid(), and harmonize_crs(), so harmonized
layers share one CRS, extent, resolution, and origin by default.
The template is snapped to the lattice of the source grid
polygons, so a cell's raster row and column reproduce its source
GRID_LABEL ("<row>_<col>", row 1 at the north edge, column 1
at the west edge).

resample_to_grid() to harmonize a layer onto this
grid; check_alignment() to test a layer against it.
