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

Using MATERIAL_RT_DEPTH_ONLY disables hardware filtering, which causes shadows to be pixelated, even with pcf. changing it back to MATERIAL_RT_DEPTH_NONE re-enables hardware filtering, while still working as a depth texture.
