404 Page handling w/ issue form (#362)

[gabrielhsdev]

This pull request introduces the updateGitHref() function. It is responsible for dynamically updating a GitHub issue link with relevant information.

Referrer URL Handling: It's worth noting that accessing document.referrer might result in an empty value if the user navigated directly to the page or if the browser's privacy settings restrict referrer information. The function handles such scenarios, providing a default value to prevent errors.

Issue: #362 from @tfoote

Hi @tfoote I'm about to start implementing the requested changes. From what I gathered, I need to:

• [ ] Integrate a checkbox (yes or no) for users to signal whether the referrer/404 URL is properly filled, complete with a concise description.
• [ ] Eliminate the placeholder text (based on my personal tests, it seems unlikely to pass validation).
• [ ] Update description to be verbose with the full info that these fields need to be filled in if undetected.

Does this align with your expectations?

Moreover, it's worth noting that the placeholder text doesn't auto-populate the form. Instead, it functions as a visual cue, presenting text within the input field until users input their own text, which then supersedes the placeholder. Essentially, it serves as a subtle prompt rather than pre-filling the form.

Please refer to the image below: the 'Submit New Issue' button remains unavailable until both required fields are properly filled.

Thanks for the testing on your instance and finding out that the validation works better than I had expected. I'll give it a try with slightly tweaked verbiage.

Thanks @tfoote

Based on my experimentation, it appears that the required fields function solely on public repositories. The following quote provides further insight: Prevents form submission until element is completed. Only for public repositories.

Should I add the checkboxes ?

Thanks

With the placeholders not filling the validation it's not necessary.

Trying it out https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rosindex/issues/new?labels=bug&template=form404.yml&referrer=testreferrerURL&404page=test404pageurl&title=test_title

I found one bug that there's a typo in the referrer key which is missing an r https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rosindex/pull/365/files#diff-128cc35baaf40bac8ae4d2932ca6e009311e8279f03f258e9cc83966f1d5b32eR64
