[DOCS] Create PR template router at /pull_request_template.md #712

@ashleyshaw

Description

@ashleyshaw

Replace generic pull_request_template.md with smart routing guide that directs users to correct template based on branch type.

Details

  • GitHub will always show root template first since it doesn't support auto-routing
  • Make this a helpful guide, not a boilerplate
  • Detect branch name from PR (user paste into form)
  • Provide quick links to all 10 PR templates
  • Explain why template selection matters for automation

Content Sections

  1. Header: "Which PR template should I use?"
  2. Branch detection: "Your branch: feat/my-feature → use pr_feature.md"
  3. Quick reference table (type/template pairs)
  4. Links to all templates in PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/
  5. Explanation of automation (labeling, changelog, etc.)

Acceptance Criteria

  • File is clear and user-friendly
  • All 10+ PR templates are linked
  • Branch-to-template mapping is explicit
  • File explains why correct template matters
