This is a quick hack to temporarily let you redirect
Help -> Report a bug reports to a custom repo.

@pragma37 Wanted to collect bug reports for the NPR prototype branch
but wasn't sure how well this would fit in with the blender/blender bug
tracker. So the idea was proposed to redirect reports to a alternative
bug tracker until the feature is merged in main. This PR does that.

How does this work?

In Blender by default the Help -> Report a bug button takes users to
https://redirect.blender.org/ with system info, then that
site prepares it for a bug report on Gitea. The redirect.blender.org
website is used to allow easy switching between issue trackers if the
Blender foundation ever switches again (E.g. Switch between Phabricator,
Gitea, Github).

Since that isn't a priority here, we just bypass redirect.blender.org
and go straight to a repo and report template setup in a custom repo.

Since we are bypassing that website, we need to recontruct the report
message (E.g. Add the titles, and extra filler information) ourselves.

Thank you for this. :)
The only issue I found is that the default bug report template path is .gitea/issue_template/bug.yaml.
