If a repo has a /.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md I would like to see that as the pre-populated pull request placeholder

The PR template is highly important to us to ensure that contributors follow our guidelines for PRs... with our template, if they do not follow our template guidelines, then the PR will most likely be closed automatically.

Actually, while looking back into this, I found this older issue: https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/328

It seems that maybe Gitpod actually already supports /.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md, or it did in the past? I'll look more into what happened, and what's required to bring this back if it's not there.
