chore: improve repo templates (#46629)
## What?

- Rendering `next info` output as code in the bug template
- Removed the "Feature Request" issue template, in favor of a more
granular discussion template
- Added a minimal template for Help discussions

## Why?

The main part of this PR is the new Feature Request template.

Anyone can propose a change to Next.js. However adding new features
often requires community discussions - whether to align expectations,
understand the consequences (eg.: backward compatibility/lifetime of a
feature), to look at and understand historical reasons for the current
behavior or lack of the feature -, which [GitHub
discussions](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions) is more
suited for than issues.

## How?

- Utilizing the new discussion templates
https://docs.github.com/en/discussions/managing-discussions-for-your-community/creating-discussion-category-forms
- Adding a link to the [new
issue](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/new/choose) view to make
it easier to discover
