Add Epic Templates

Problem to solve:

Currently there isn't an option for templates for Epics natively in GitLab.

Proposal:

Add templates for Epics.

Use Case:

Customers would like the ability to have templates for Epics. They are currently leveraging Epics for Features, Epics and Strategic Themes and they would want to introduce templates for each of these.

Current workarounds:

Currently there isn't an option for templates for Epics natively, however, you could create an issue template and then promote it to an Epic.

Alternatively, you can define a repo to be templates and reference it at the group level https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/description_templates.html#set-group-level-description-templates This should be relatively easy to roll out with a .gitlab/epic_templates/<template>.md And replicate functionality of stories for epics.
