Initial checklist for Partial Issue Triage

Kevin Goslar requested to merge kev.go-issue-triage-checklist-1 into master

This MR merges the existing partial triage instructions on https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/quality/issue-triage/#partial-triage with the steps in the /issuetriage TextBlaze template.

It also changes the format from a definition of done into a checklist.

A lot of things are intentionally left out to keep this first iteration small. You can see them at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/quality/contributor-success/team-task/-/issues/160. I'll add them in subsequent MRs right after this one ships. A preview of how the final list could look like is at !118187 (closed).

Why is this change being made?
