Pandas Issue Submission Template
This template will help you and us respond to your issues in an efficient and timely manner. Please fill out all sections and use github markdown for code blocks
Actual Behavior
Expected Behavior
output of pd.show_versions()
so this is what the new ISSUE_TEMPLATE looks like its in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md. Furthermore, now the CONTRIBUTING.md shows up when you create a new issue.

of course stylistic changes are welcome :)
there is a PULL_REQUEST.md template we can add as well.

I think the CONTRIBUTING.md should simply be: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/contributing.html but would have to do this as part of the doc-building process? (e.g. convert the .rst to .md)?
@jorisvandenbossche @TomAugspurger ?

I don't think we need the sentence with "This template will help you...", people will get used to these. Best to keep the boilerplate to a minimum. Could probably scrap the "Please fill out" as well.
Maybe instead of "Actual Behavior" we have "Code Example" or something that really drives home the point that we want a copy-pastable example possible.
Something like:
Code Sample
# A copy-pastable example if possible:
Expected Output
Versions
Output of pd.show_versions()
The pull request template could have check boxes for
- [ ] Closes #xxxx
- [ ] git diff upstream/master | flake8 --diff
- [ ] whatsnew entry

I have changed this to be a doc generation step to make CONTRIBUTING.md from contributing.rst. This would have to be an external step we only do when we make changes to contributing.rst.
