We've had some issues that largely boiled down to "I'm still on an old version of `buf` and an upgrade would have fixed my issue". This copies over the [issue templates from the `buf` repository][1], modifies them slightly, and enforces their usage in our repo. Notably, I've included specific language about attempting to reproduce with the latest version of `buf`, and added a checkbox as a part of the template to draw specific attention to it.

pretty sure this is right from the syntax: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/syntax-for-issue-forms. I don't think we can preview these without them landing on main.

We don't have this in buf as I think it's relatively new, but seemed like a good place to plug our contacts and force people to go through the templates. (We can allow blank issues if we want 🤷, but we have the "other" template as a catch-all.)
