chore: 🤖 add component RFC pull request template

[elizabetdev]

Why?

We need a structured, RFC-style PR template for new components and significant component changes. This ensures every component PR goes through a consistent review process covering design, API, accessibility, theming, testing, documentation, and migration concerns.

How?

• Moved the existing default PR template into .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/default.md (no content changes)
• Added a new Component RFC template at .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/component_rfc.md
• The RFC template includes comprehensive checklists for:
  • Design reference & Figma link
  • Proposed API with usage examples
  • Variants & states coverage
  • Accessibility requirements (ARIA, keyboard nav, screen reader, contrast)
  • Light/dark theming with design tokens
  • Implementation standards (file structure, exports, types)
  • Testing (unit, visual regression, Storybook stories)
  • Documentation
  • Changeset
  • Security
  • Rollout & migration (for changes to existing components)

Usage

When opening a PR, contributors can append ?template=component_rfc.md to the PR URL to use the RFC template, or select it from the template picker.

Contribution checklist?

• You've done enough research before writing
• You have reviewed the PR
• The commit messages are detailed
• Assets or static content are linked and stored in the project

Security checklist?

• All user inputs are validated and sanitized
• No usage of dangerouslySetInnerHTML
• Sensitive data has been identified and is being protected properly
• Build output contains no secrets or API keys
