Add code review checklist template for pull requests

[Akatenvictor]

What

Create a PR template that provides a structured checklist for code reviewers, ensuring consistent review quality across all contributions.

Why

Without a checklist, reviewers may miss important checks (testing, accessibility, performance). A template ensures thorough reviews.

Scope

In: PR template with sections for description, testing, accessibility, performance, documentation
Out: Automated review bots

Acceptance Criteria

• Template in .github/pull_request_template.md
• Sections: Description, Changes, Testing, Accessibility, Performance
• Checklist items for each section
• Links to contributing guidelines
• Auto-populates when creating PR on GitHub
• Concise (not overwhelming for small PRs)

Technical Context

• Create .github/pull_request_template.md
• Include relevant checklist items from categories above
• Reference docs/ for detailed guidelines
