Implement Issue Config (#20956) 
Closes #20955

This PR adds the possibility to disable blank Issues, when the Repo has
templates. This can be done by creating the file
`.gitea/issue_config.yaml` with the content `blank_issues_enabled` in
the Repo.

# Issue and Pull Request Templates
**Table of Contents**
{{< toc >}}
Some projects have a standard list of questions that users need to answer
when creating an issue or pull request. Gitea supports adding templates to the
main branch of the repository so that they can autopopulate the form when users are
creating issues and pull requests. This will cut down on the initial back and forth
of getting some clarifying details.
Additionally, the New Issue page URL can be suffixed with `?title=Issue+Title&body=Issue+Text` and the form will be populated with those strings. Those strings will be used instead of the template if there is one.
## File names
Possible file names for issue templates:
- `ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md`
- `ISSUE_TEMPLATE.yaml`
- `ISSUE_TEMPLATE.yml`
- `issue_template.md`
- `issue_template.yaml`
- `issue_template.yml`
- `.gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md`
- `.gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.yaml`
- `.gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.yml`
- `.gitea/issue_template.md`
- `.gitea/issue_template.yaml`
- `.gitea/issue_template.yml`
- `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md`
- `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.yaml`
- `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.yml`
- `.github/issue_template.md`
- `.github/issue_template.yaml`
- `.github/issue_template.yml`
Possible file names for issue config:
- `.gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yaml`
- `.gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml`
- `.gitea/issue_template/config.yaml`
- `.gitea/issue_template/config.yml`
- `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yaml`
- `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml`
- `.github/issue_template/config.yaml`
- `.github/issue_template/config.yml`
Possible file names for PR templates:
- `PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`
- `PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.yaml`
- `PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.yml`
- `pull_request_template.md`
- `pull_request_template.yaml`
- `pull_request_template.yml`
- `.gitea/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`
- `.gitea/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.yaml`

- `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.yml`
- `.github/pull_request_template.md`
- `.github/pull_request_template.yaml`
- `.github/pull_request_template.yml`
## Directory names
Alternatively, users can create multiple issue templates inside a special directory and allow users to choose one that more specifically
addresses their problem.
Possible directory names for issue templates:
- `ISSUE_TEMPLATE`
- `issue_template`
- `.gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE`
- `.gitea/issue_template`
- `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE`
- `.github/issue_template`
- `.gitlab/ISSUE_TEMPLATE`
- `.gitlab/issue_template`
Inside the directory can be multiple markdown (`.md`) or yaml (`.yaml`/`.yml`) issue templates of the form.
## Syntax for markdown template
```md
---
name: "Template Name"
about: "This template is for testing!"
title: "[TEST] "
ref: "main"
labels:
- bug
- "help needed"
---
This is the template!
```
In the above example, when a user is presented with the list of issues they can submit, this would show as `Template Name` with the description
`This template is for testing!`. When submitting an issue with the above example, the issue title would be pre-populated with
`[TEST] ` while the issue body would be pre-populated with `This is the template!`. The issue would also be assigned two labels,
`bug` and `help needed`, and the issue will have a reference to `main`.
## Syntax for yaml template
This example YAML configuration file defines an issue form using several inputs to report a bug.
```yaml
name: Bug Report
about: File a bug report
title: "[Bug]: "
body:
- type: markdown
