Previously, some links to specific sections of `CONTRIBUTING.md` were
using hashes automatically generated by GitHub based on the section
headings. This resulted in less readable hashes which were directly tied
to the heading text and thus less robust (i.e. more likely to break if
the heading was re-worded in the future).
This commit switches such links to use the dedicated anchors, which are
more succinct/readable and more stable.

When we launched the new issue templates (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/*), we forgot to update these
docs which got stale and needed a refresh.
PR Close#27608
These templates take advatange of github's feature that allows
us to define multiple templates and which the UI presents to the
user and lets them choose the most appropriate template.
The goal of this is to tailor the templates to the templates to
various use-cases and bug categories and provide better guidance to
developers filing issues which should result in more efficient
processing of the issue backlog.
