Subject: [PATCH] feat: add Task issue template for non-code work (#181)

Adds a "Task" issue type with category dropdown (Website, Content & Copy,
Email & Comms, Legal & Grants, Design, Infrastructure, Other) for tracking
operational and business tasks that don't fit bug/feature/question types.

Also updates .gitignore to allow .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/.
