docs(templates): Update Issue & PR templates
I've updated the issue and pull request templates, again. This time I looked to the node.js request library for inspiration. It's no secret that this project has been attracting a LOT of very low-quality issues. Almost all are asking questions that can be easily answered if the person looked at the example project or the wiki. Specifically, the new Support_help.md file. This file will hopefully bait these low-quality support questions and reduce the number of opened issues regarding debugging or support significantly. I've updated the default ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md to be a copy of Bug_report.md to force people to read that notice text if they decide to not choose any of the templates.

Issues are ***NOT*** for getting help, only for reporting bugs and feature requests.
10+
11+
Search open and closed issues to see if your question already has an answer. However, **do not create a new issue.**
12+
13+
Instead, do the following:
14+
15+
1. Download the [Example App](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xxmassdeveloper.mpchartexample) and check out the [source code](https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart/tree/master/MPChartExample/src/com/xxmassdeveloper/mpchartexample). 90% of the time there is an example that does exactly what you are trying to do.
16+
17+
1. Look at the [Wiki](https://github.com/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart/wiki) for the official documentation for MPAndroidChart. You can also browse the [javadoc](https://jitpack.io/com/github/PhilJay/MPAndroidChart/v3.0.3/javadoc/) for a more detailed tutorial of the API.
18+
19+
1. Go to [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mpandroidchart) and ask your questions there. The community will be much more helpful and willing to offer guidance.
20+
21+
22+
### You have been warned!
23+
24+
From now on, any issues asking for help will get closed with a link to this file.
