Extend issue template yaml engine (#29274) 
Add new option:

`visible`: witch can hide a specific field of the form or the created
content afterwards

It is a string array witch can contain `form` and `content`. If only
`form` is present, it wont show up in the created issue afterwards and
the other way around. By default it sets both except for markdown

As they are optional and github don't have any similar thing, it is non
breaking and also do not conflict with it.

With this you can:
- define "post issue creation" elements like a TODO list to track an
issue state
- make sure to have a checkbox that reminds the user to check for a
thing but dont have it in the created issue afterwards
- define markdown for the created issue (was the downside of using yaml
instead of md in the past)
 - ...

## Demo

```yaml
name: New Contribution
description: External Contributor creating a pull

body:
- type: checkboxes
  id: extern-todo
  visible: [form]
  attributes:
    label: Contribution Guidelines
    options:
      - label: I checked there exist no similar feature to be extended
        required: true
      - label: I did read the CONTRIBUTION.MD
        required: true
- type: checkboxes
  id: intern-todo
  visible: [content]
  attributes:
    label: Maintainer Check-List
    options:
      - label: Does this pull follow the KISS principe
      - label: Checked if internal bord was notifyed
# ....
```

# Issue and Pull Request Templates
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`
- `.gitea/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.yml`
- `.gitea/pull_request_template.md`
- `.gitea/pull_request_template.yaml`
- `.gitea/pull_request_template.yml`
- `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`
- `.github/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
attributes:
value: |
Thanks for taking the time to fill out this bug report!
