Subject: [PATCH] Add pull request template
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Most MeshCore PRs lack structured descriptions — testing info, hardware
verification, and related issue links are frequently missing. This adds a
compact PR template with summary, type of change, hardware tested, and
test plan sections to encourage consistent, reviewable submissions.
