[LTP] [PATCH 1/2] github: pull_request_template.md

From: Petr Vorel <pevik@users.noreply.github.com>

Create pull request template to inform people that we prefer patches to
our mailing list. We have this info in README.md, but even experienced,
who send patches with git send-email to other projects overlook this
info and open github pull requests.

While at it, add links to the test case tutorial, lore and patchwork.

Template does not support any formatting, therefore using plain links.

+Although we *occasionally* also accept GitHub pull requests, the *preferred* way is sending patches to our mailing list: https://lore.kernel.org/ltp/
+
+There is an example how to use it: https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/wiki/C-Test-Case-Tutorial#7-submitting-the-test-for-review (using git format-patch and git send-email).

+LTP mailing list is archived: https://lore.kernel.org/ltp/.
+We also have a patchwork instance: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ltp/list/.
