Wolfgang Walther 57cf218357 ISSUE_TEMPLATE: revert one-sentence-per-line for package_request
We tried, but GitHub's markdown renderer will render these newlines
there, so going back to "real" paragraphs.

Also fixed the emphasis slightly, since "via Issues" is not bold, "via a
Pull Request" is also made not bold for consistency. Puts the focus more
on the "contribute" link as well.

Thank you for your interest in packaging new software in Nixpkgs. Unfortunately, to mitigate the unsustainable growth of unmaintained packages, **Nixpkgs is no longer accepting package requests** via Issues.
As a [volunteer community][community], we are always open to new contributors. If you wish to see this package in Nixpkgs, **we encourage you to [contribute] it yourself**, via a Pull Request. Anyone can [become a package maintainer][maintainers]! You can find language-specific packaging information in the [Nixpkgs Manual][nixpkgs]. Should you need any help, please reach out to the community on [Matrix] or [Discourse].
