Add .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE config to encourage forum discussions.

This is copied from the farmOS/farmOS repo. The goal is to direct people to the forum and chat for more general discussions, feature requests, etc, and reserve the GitHub repo for bug reports and internal task management.

This documentation explicitly mentions the ISSUE_TEMPLATE directory as being possible: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/creating-a-default-community-health-file#creating-a-repository-for-default-files

I will open a companion PR in the farmOS/farmOS repo to remove it from there.

Awesome!

Hmm I merged this but it doesn't seem to be working on other repos... :-(

Investigating more...

I think this needs to be moved into the .github directory of this repo. Currently it is only at the root of the farmOS/.github repo.

[mstenta]

Hmm I didn't think that was necessary. I think GitHub treats this as a special repo and expects everything that would normally be in a .github subdirectory to be in the root directory. I could be wrong though. The doc link above suggests this is correct I think.

[mstenta]

Oh maybe you're right @paul121 ... rereading and it is worded confusingly, but lets give it a try!

[mstenta]

That did it! 🙌

Awesome! Sorry I could have linked to where I saw this. Seems more clear in step 7: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/creating-a-default-community-health-file#creating-a-repository-for-default-files

In the repository, create one of the supported community health files. Issue templates and their configuration file must be in a folder called .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE. All other supported files may be in the root of the repository, the .github folder, or the docs folder.
