This commit adds a template that identifies commit message elements that
we find important. The Suricata development team requests that
contributions use the template to help improve commit messages. We
reserve the right to strictly enforce adherence to the template in the
future.
Configure git to use this template with:
git config commit.template ..github/commit-template.txt
