Create issue template for new dbt tests #423

This PR adds an issue template for new DBT tests.

This is a good start! I'm worried that we've gotten ahead of ourselves by attempting to write an issue template before drafting detailed dbt test docs, though; as you can tell from my comments, there's a lot of missing context, but I don't think an issue template is the appropriate way to provide that context. My suggestion would be for us to pause this effort, but up a separate PR to beef up the testing documentation to explain how our test suites work in detail, and then come back to this issue template once we can link out to our docs for necessary context. But I'm curious what @dfsnow thinks!

I agree with this, better to document our various testing patterns in the dbt README. Could also be built on out #148.
