Subject: [PATCH] Redirect "Questions" issue option to Discussions (#16443)

This PR removes the "Question" issue template, and adds a section to the
issue creation menu labeled "Question" which redirects to a new Q&A
discussion post.

I have this set up on my fork if you want to see what it looks like:
https://github.com/132ikl/nushell/issues/new/choose

## Release notes summary - What our users need to know
N/A

## Tasks after submitting
- [ ] Convert all issues currently tagged with the "question" label into
Discussions
