What change does this PR introduce?
The PR template sections has been redone, with descriptive comments added.
Why was this change needed?
The comments provide a smoother onboarding process leading up to the review process.
The updated sections encourage contributors to explain what changes are made and why they are made, which will help us gather more detailed contexts and reasons for the PR. They also provide a useful reminder to not explain how the changes are made, because that information is already provided by the diffs.
Since we're migrating from Jira to GitHub Projects, the issue ticket section has been removed.
To reduce noise, the type of change section has been removed in favor of using labels and issue titles to determine what kind of change has been made.
