Subject: [PATCH] doc: remove replication of GitHub template
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The pull-request template was replicated in the pull-requests.md which
is a maintenance annoyance when changing the template. Replace the
replication with a link to the raw template.
