Update PR Template to Account for Updates

[nodiscc]

I think the PR checklist is already intimidating to new contributors, expanding it would make it worse (even though they just have to delete the lower part, that's still one more thing to do/understand and will discourage people).

Unfortunately Github doesn't allow multiple PR templates (e.g one for additions, one for updates, one for cleanup of old projects, etc.) It is possible for issues (when New Issue is clicked it shows a nice list allowing you to select the template), but not for PRs. Worth noting that Gitlab and Gitea-and-likes do have this feature.

• The correct thing to do when updating or removing an entry is to just delete the placeholder/checklist. I think we should make this clearer.

See also #33 (comment) where a possible "contributor guide"/FAQ is discussed.

By the way, thank you for your help with maintenance these last days.

I found this out yesterday and could not believe github lacks support for multiple PR templates.

It makes plenty of sense that we do not want to add complexity to the PR process.
