github/issue_template: rework issue templates with github forms
i would like to revisit the github forms for issue templates. we previously had a short discussion (#9938) which didn't lead to anything, and i still think the current issue templates are a bit lacking and confusing. even if we just settle with the minimum version, separating instruction from the issue template (description text above the text field), it would be a huge improvement over the current state.
this PR is a full blown suggestion of what could be done. it can be seen in action on my fork: https://github.com/Akemi/mpv/issues/new/choose and https://github.com/Akemi/mpv/issues
admittedly the changes here are quite extensive and might be a bit much, though i am open to simplify them if needed. though my general wish and goal is:
- instructions separated from the actual issue template
- prevent issues with infos and not removed issue template instruction entangled
- just plain unfilled issue template issues
- structured and consistent filled out issues
also see my comment, for my reasoning and additional suggestions.
since the question template was removed (https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/2babe02f0f58711d19f3cd412fe84a41bf3946fd), i added a short mention of the new Discussions on the issue template choose page with a link.

i think i addressed everything for now. so how do we want to go forward with this? i personally think this is a huge improvement over the status quo. though i don't want to force my opinion on the rest of the active maintainers.
