[Next Docs] Update Git Workflow (#50579)

Update our git workflow in preparation for open-sourcing the content of
the docs ([linear
task](https://linear.app/vercel/issue/DX-1579/set-up-github-workflow)).

**Templates:**
- [x] Update docs issue template to encourage contributions
- [x] Update PR template to include link to new contribution guide 

**Code Owners / Reviewers:** 
- #50841

**Labels:** 
- [x] Add DevEx team to labeler.json so PRs get the "created by: DevEx
team"

**Other:** 
- [x] Remove docs manifest from CI checks as we no longer have one (keep
the manifest for errors as they live under `/pages`)
- [x] Add `unifiedjs.vscode-mdx` to the vscode extension list

-# Updating Documentation Paths
+# Contributing to Documentation
 
-Our documentation currently leverages a [manifest file](/docs/manifest.json), which is how documentation entries are checked.
-
-When adding a new entry under an existing category you only need to add an entry with `{title: '', path: '/docs/path/to/file.md'}`. The "title" is what is shown on the sidebar.
-
-When moving the location/url of an entry, the "title" field can be removed from the existing entry and the ".md" extension removed from the "path", then a "redirect" field with the shape of `{permanent: true/false, destination: '/some-url'}` can be added. A new entry should be added with the "title" and "path" fields if the document is renamed within the [`docs` folder](/docs) that points to the new location in the folder, e.g. `/docs/some-url.md`
-
-Example of moving documentation file:
-
-Before:
-
-```json
-[
-  {
-    "path": "/docs/original.md",
-    "title": "Hello world"
-  }
-]
-```
-
-After:
-
-```json
-[
-  {
-    "path": "/docs/original",
-    "redirect": {
-      "permanent": false,
-      "destination": "/new"
-    }
-  },
-  {
-    "path": "/docs/new.md",
-    "title": "Hello world"
-  }
-]
-```
-
-> **Note**: The manifest is checked automatically in the "lint" step in CI when opening a PR.
