.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE: add a required "target" field to bug.yml

[perillo]

Reading some open issues I noted that it is not easy to determine if a bug manifests only for some operating systems (like Windows).

I propose to add a new required field to bug.yml named target, containing the arch-os-abi triple.

The Zig compiler should also have a command to display the native target.
Currently the only method I know is zig targets | grep -A 512 native

Thanks.

An alternative is to have a builtin field, with a dump of the content of the builtin package.

The command zig build-obj --show-builtin will dump the contents of builtin for the native target.

Here is a simple patch to add support for dumping the native target in the zig env command:

The zig env output on my system is:

It depends on PR #11741, and probably the label and description should be improved.
