Simplify refinement template and add checklist

Angelo Gulina requested to merge agulina-master-patch-31895 into master

Why is this change being made?

This MR updates the refinement template to make it slicker. It moves to a checklist approach to help be more intentional about what questions need to be answered during refinement.

Additionally, it removes placeholders for relevant info that would better stay where it is easier to access them. E.g.:

  • a list of MRs in the description instead of comments
  • weight and status are reflected in the Issue sidebar and don't need to be in the refinement comment
