Subject: [PATCH] chore: add guidelines and licensing comment to PR template
 (#9665)

# Which Problems Are Solved

Sometimes our guidelines are missed by contributors. The same risk
exists for the licensing terms under which contributions are submitted.

# How the Problems Are Solved

- Add comment with link to the relevant contribution guideline section
- Add comment with link to LICENSING.md

The comments are added as HTML comment which will be visible to the
contributor, but won't be rendered in PR once submitted.

# Additional Changes

- none
