doc: remove subsystem from pull request template

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/Trott/no-more-subsystem into master

Remove request that user provide a list of subsystems in the pull request template.

  • We already ask them to put the subsystems in the first line of the commit message.
  • The subsystem is usually easy to determine.
  • We have a bot that applies subsystem labels on new PRs and it seems to do a rather good job. Tools over rules. Let the bot do it.
  • The fewer unnecessary things we ask for in the template, the lower the barrier to entry.
  • Anecdotal, but I have never found it useful to have the person submitting the PR list out subsystems in the pull request post.
