Alex Shnitman c519f45908 chore: rework issue and discussion templates around scope policy
Issue forms: trim prerequisite checkboxes to the two that matter, make the
yt-dlp test field explicitly conditional (UI bugs write "UI bug"), lead the
feature form with the scope line and the already-decided list, and retire
the question template in favor of Discussions Q&A.

Discussion forms: rename q-and-a.yml to q-a.yml so it matches the actual
category slug (it never applied), add ideas.yml for the category where
feature requests actually land, drop configuration-help.yml (no matching
category) and the inert config.yml (blank_discussions_enabled is not a
GitHub feature), and remove checkboxes from low-stakes discussion forms.

## Read this first — MeTube's scope
MeTube's scope is deliberately narrow: **it downloads well and stops once the file is written.**
Features that improve the download itself are welcome — usually as community PRs, since the
maintainer is unlikely to implement requests ([details](https://github.com/alexta69/metube#-submitting-feature-requests)).
Post-download file management is out of scope regardless of implementation quality.
**Already decided — please don't re-request:**
- 🔒 Built-in authentication / password → use a reverse proxy ([#931](https://github.com/alexta69/metube/issues/931), [wiki](https://github.com/alexta69/metube/wiki/Reverse-proxy-configurations))
- 🔔 Notifications on download completion → available today via the `Exec` postprocessor ([recipe](https://github.com/alexta69/metube/wiki/YTDL_OPTIONS-Cookbook))
- ✏️ Renaming, converting, tagging, or organizing files after download → out of scope ([#495](https://github.com/alexta69/metube/issues/495), [#1027](https://github.com/alexta69/metube/issues/1027))
- 🎚️ Pre-download format/quality/audio-track picker → tracked in [#1032](https://github.com/alexta69/metube/issues/1032)
- 📋 Pre-download playlist item browser → tracked in [#1030](https://github.com/alexta69/metube/issues/1030)
- 🎛️ Config switches to disable individual features → declined ([#976](https://github.com/alexta69/metube/issues/976))
- ⏰ Download scheduler → declined; add items with auto-start off and start them when you like ([#838](https://github.com/alexta69/metube/issues/838))
