Add config.yml to .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATES

Why?

This allows to have finer control over issue creating experience of the end user (or a dev). You can do things like add a redirect to Microsoft Security Response Center as an option for submitting an issue (for reporting a security vulnerability).

I'm not sure why we'd need a config.yml in addition to the existing ISSUE_TEMPLATEs we have. Do you have a specific suggestion of something to add?

I don't think blindly directing people directly to MSRC would be helpful to us as a dev team, I think I'd rather have us notified of the request as well, so we could at least follow up on it.

Another use case is:

Documentation issues (in docs.microsoft.com) redirects to MicrosoftDocs/terminal

@zadjii-msft yea, the cool thing about the yml file is that you can add things that aren't issue templates. That's the biggest deal.

Here's what PowerShell uses it for:
