Add issue template for new versions of Kubernetes

Mitchell Nielsen requested to merge add-issue-template-for-k8s-support into master

Summary

Adds a new issue template for supporting new versions of Kubernetes.

Context

This will replace the process we've followed in the past of creating sub-epics and child issues under gitlab-org&11331.

Instead, we'll now create a new issue using this template each time a new version of Kubernetes is released and track work in one location.

Why?

Creating sub-epics and child issues was quite repetitive, and we didn't have the process defined anywhere, so it required lots of prior context and was prone to human error.

This will hopefully make the process more consistent, consolidate references for required action items, and reduce the number of issues created.

Splitting the work into multiple issues makes sense for work that will span milestones, but this work should be doable within a single milestone. If it's not, it's a signal that we need to prioritize our infrastructure automation.

This is also an attempt to enable us to support new versions of Kubernetes more quickly. We are sorely behind as of today, and need to catch up as soon as possible.
