please review CONTRIBUTING.md

Purpose:
I've noticed that a lot of recent issues have stemmed from users attempting to use ScottPlot 4.1 methods in 4.0 or vice versa.

Additionally, when answering a lot of questions one has to preface them with "If you're using 4.1.x do ... If you're using 4.0.x do ...". This also happens to a lesser degree when answering GUI questions, one has to modify their answer for WinForms or WPF or Avalonia.

I think to help mitigate this we should edit the issue templates so that they ask the user for this information up front. I modified the bug_report and the question-about-scottplot templates to ask for this information:

  • ScottPlot version
  • Operating System
  • Which platform (WPF, WinForms, Avalonia)

Let me know what you think.
New Functionality:
N/A

Includes request for ScottPlot version, Operating System, and platform (WinForms, WPF, Avalonia)

As an aside, I've been burned by issue templates not turning out how I expect so I would check after merging to make sure they look right.

Thanks @bclehmann! This is an improvement and I'll merge it in now (and double-check it worked). I also want to revisit/review issue templates after the 4.1 release to perhaps add a note about this version change and provide updated links to resources related to the switch (#716)
