chore(github): update issue templates and add PR template

[nanotaboada]

Summary

• Updated feature_request.md and bug_report.md: removed forced bracket prefixes from titles, relying on labels (enhancement, bug) for categorization instead
• Fixed inconsistent language labels on bug_report.md across repos (go, python, typescript were missing)
• Made Suggested Approach optional in feature_request.md; replaced generic criteria placeholders with meaningful defaults
• Added config.yml to disable blank issues (enforces template usage)
• Added pull_request_template.md with type-of-change checklist aligned to Conventional Commits types
• Added ### Creating Issues section to copilot-instructions.md documenting the SDD workflow (Plan → Issue → implement) and the expected structure for both template types

Test plan

• Verify the issue template chooser shows only Bug report and Feature request (no blank option)
• Open a new issue and confirm title is empty, labels are pre-filled, and Suggested Approach is marked optional
• Open a new PR and confirm the template is pre-filled
