Moving Requests to Discussions

In order to lessen the signal-to-noise ratio in our Icon Requests, I think we should move new requests to discussions, instead of issues. This PR sets up some initial templates for us to use.

+Help us keep things organized by confirming the following:

+- [ ] I’ve included references *or* the concept is easy to visualize  
+- [ ] I searched existing Discussions/Issues to avoid duplicates  
+- [ ] I understand how icon requests work and what makes one more likely to be accepted
