Force patch release to use the same template

Mayra Cabrera requested to merge quick-fix-to-patch-releases into master

What does this MR do and why?

As part of extending the maintenance policy, two patch release processes are available:

  • The old one via 'Pick into x.x' labels
  • The new one that allows engineers to backport bug fixes into stable branches.

The decision of extending the maintenance policy is on pause, but the new patch release process has saved time and effort from release managers, so it has been decided to make it the official one.

This commit updates the 'PatchReleas::Issue' template to always use the one associated with the new process. The logic of the patch release will be late updated as part of gitlab-com/gl-infra&968 (closed).
