Various improvements to issue/pull-request templates - Instruct to verify if an issue/request already exists - Use uppercase for titles (easier to parse as titles) - Remove empty lines where it makes sense (instructions) - Ensure that commit-message appears directly under summary (pull-requests)

Edit the ISSUE_TEMPLATE The old template was effusive at the expense of making the text harder to read and easier to miss things in. This one is more direct, and easy to scan quickly.

Use triple-backticks for verbatim output It's easier than indenting by four spaces, as @willthames points out.

##### CONFIGURATION
Put the advice to the user as comments in the template Most issues include parts of the advice from the template, which adds noise to tickets. E.g. A lot of tickets include the text "Please pick one and delete the rest:" By adding the advice to the user as comments (<!--- comment -->) we achieve two important things: 1. The advice does not end up in the actual issue ticket or pull request 2. It is easier for the user to differentiate its own input and the original advice (And my help them to clean up the advice as well, which in fact is now no longer necessary)
