What

Adds a .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ folder with issue templates for this repo and refreshes CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md, and SUPPORT.md.

Issue templates

  • bug_report.md — azldev bug reports including version, repro steps, logs, host OS/arch, and Azure Linux target version.
  • feature_request.md — feature/enhancement proposals with proposed CLI/config sketches and use-case impact.
  • documentation.md — documentation issues with repo path / URL.
  • questions-feedback.md — general questions and feedback.
  • config.yml — issue chooser config with contact links to the user guide, the Microsoft security reporting process (per SECURITY.md), and the upstream microsoft/azurelinux repo. Blank issues remain disabled.

Docs

  • CONTRIBUTING.md: link to the Azure Linux contribution philosophy / best practices.
  • README.md and SUPPORT.md: point users at the Azure Linux report-issues guidance.

Why

Gives issues structured prompts so we get the information needed to triage (version, command line, config, logs, environment) and aligns guidance with other AzL repos.

Adds .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ with bug_report, feature_request, documentation, and questions-feedback templates plus an issue chooser config.yml (disables blank issues, adds contact links for the user guide, security policy, and the azurelinux distro repo). Modeled on microsoft/azure-linux-image-tools#741 but tailored for azldev (CLI/version/Azure Linux target prompts). Also links the Azure Linux contribution philosophy in CONTRIBUTING.md and the report-issues guidance in README.md/SUPPORT.md.

@kavyamsft The changes look pretty good to me, thanks for putting this together!

I think the only thing is just those external doc links going live.
