Summary:
I've noticed many pull requests are opened with a very short description that fails to explain the motivation behind the PR, and many more forego providing a test plan. With this PR, I am shortening the template in order to provide concise instructions that provide the essential steps above the fold in the "Open a pull request" composer window.
- We need people to open a PR against master, not stable. The exact reason for this is not important and providing an explanation takes away from other more important points.

See #9095 for an example of such a PR.
In this PR we edit the link to say View on GitHub. Though it may not prevent PRs from being opened against a release branch, removing the "Edit" CTA may help in this regard.

Make it more obvious that pull requests should generally target the `master` branch. Provide visible clarity in both the `CONTRIBUTING.md` and the actual pull request template.

Summary:
This moves the Template files to the .github folder. This helps clear up the extra files in the root of the directory.
This is my first PR 😄 and I plan to contribute more to this awesome project.
