Use form-based issue templates

High quality feedback via GitHub issues is a very valuable contribution to the project. It is important to make the
issue creation and management process as efficient as possible for the contributors, maintainers, and developers.

Issue templates are helpful to the maintainers and developers because it establishes a standardized framework for the
issues and encourages the contributors to provide the essential information.

The contributor is now presented with a web form when creating an issue. In the case of the library registration
maintenance requests, these are for the specific information the registry maintainers require. For more general bug
reports or feature requests, they use multi-line input fields that have the same formatting, preview, and attachment
capabilities as the standard GitHub Issue composer, in addition to other form components such as menus and checkboxes
where appropriate.

The use of this form-based system should provide a better experience for the contributors and library maintiners while
also resulting in higher quality issues by establishing a standardized framework for the issues and encouraging
contributors to provide the essential information.

A template chooser allows the contributor to select the appropriate template type, redirects support requests to the
appropriate communication channels via "Contact Links", and provides a prominent link to security policy to guide any
vulnerability disclosures.

The clear separation of the types of issues encourages the reporter to fit their report into a specific issue category,
resulting in more clarity. Automatic labeling according to template choice allows the reporter to do the initial
classification.
