Fix GitHub issue/feature templates: add version info, debug traces, and master-comparison guidance

[Copilot]

Templates were too broad and lacked actionable guidance — reporters were missing version info, debug output, and had no prompt to check if their issue was already resolved upstream.

Changes

All three templates

• Added a "Before filing" preamble with a GitHub compare URL template to check if the issue/feature is already addressed in master:

  https://github.com/linuxboot/heads/compare/<your-commit-hash>...master
  

• Directs vendor-device users to file against their vendor if the fix exists in master but hasn't been released downstream.

bug-report-for-everything-except-build-errors.md

• Fixed broken boards link: eganonoa/heads → linuxboot/heads
• Version info: Replaced vague/typo-ridden prompt with a clear instruction to navigate Options → System Information and paste the full version string (including git commit hash)
• Debug traces: Added a prominent required section pointing to https://osresearch.net/Porting/#enabling-debug--trace-from-heads-gui

bug-report-for-heads-build-errors.md

• Improved version question to reference Options → System Information and accept commit ID or tag

feature_request.md

• Added master-comparison check and vendor escalation guidance

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• osresearch.net
  • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node --enable-source-maps /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/copilot-developer-action-main/dist/index.js (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Fix issue/feature templates at https://github.com/linuxboot/heads/tree/master/.github%2FISSUE_TEMPLATE</issue_title>
<issue_description>They are way too broad and not directly actionable.

• Point to how to create debug traces for all bug reports from https://osresearch.net/Porting/#enabling-debug--trace-from-heads-gui
• if not guide user into getting version from system-info and maybe even prepare Qr code to see diffs between used version from which fork vs master. User must upgrade if fixed in master, or push downstream to do bugfix release.
