Overhauled Mapbase's GitHub-specific files to be more effective and project-agnostic
* Moved CONTRIBUTING to .github so it can be recognized as contribution guidelines
* Added more issue templates and made them more project-agnostic for forks
* Renamed issue templates so "Bug report", "Feature request", etc. come first when looking for the right template
* Added pull request template

It used new char[] before, but it seems when the buffer is allocated
using filesystem->ReadFileEx() we should free() the buffer, not delete[]
it. CUtlBuffer also free()s the buffer, so malloc() should be the saner
choice here.
This crashes on Linux as pKeyValuesData is NULL when deleteThis() is
invoked. This likely is caused by another issue, but fixing this here
seems good regardless.
