issue/PR tips

[Simon Michael]

I've written down a first draft of advice for pull request contributors:
https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/wiki/Pull-requests <https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/wiki/Pull-requests>

and created a shorter pull request template referencing the above, which you should see when creating a PR

and created an issue template ("General issue"), to help steer user support questions to this list or #hledger IRC channel.

Suggestions/improvements welcome.

And by the way, not yet mentioned on that page: I am quite in favour of finding ways to improve our current github PR-based workflow. I was nodding in agreement with https://jg.gg/2018/09/29/stacked-diffs-versus-pull-requests <https://jg.gg/2018/09/29/stacked-diffs-versus-pull-requests> . I'll be looking for ways to emulate some of that - smaller units of review, less mucking about with branches and conflicts and PRs - without abandoning the conveniences of github. I have somewhere bookmarked a script that's supposed to help.
