New issue template configuration options

Two new issue template configuration options are now available for issue templates. These can be specified in a config.yml file within your .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE folder. The blank_issues_enabled option allows you to show or hide the Create a blank issue choice when users select New issue in your repository. You can also refer users to another url during the template selection process by specifying contact_links in the configuration file.
