Certain phrasing in a PR can "link" it to a particular issue. Merging a PR that is "linked" to an issue will automatically close that issue. This can be handy, but it can also be problematic if the issue is closed unintentionally, like when a PR does not completely cover all of the points made in the issue. For examples of this, see: cmu-delphi/covidcast-indicators#1676 (comment) and cmu-delphi/covidcast-indicators#1973 (comment) . The automatic closing behavior can not be disabled, though it is a commonly requested feature. This PR removes those linking keywords from the template to reduce the possibility of an undesired linking.
