Fixed link in v2 changelog

This change replaces the default issue templates with YAML issue
templates based on those used across the other PowerShell modules.

It introduces configuration for the issues, including links to filing
feedback for PowerShell, Windows PowerShell, documentation, and Azure
Policy (as **PSDesiredStateConfiguration** v2+ is users of Azure
Policy's machine configuration feature).

+# v2 Changelog
+
+## [v2.0.6]
+
+### Main changes
+
+- Fixed `PathSeparator` bug in Get-DSCResourceModules.
+- Changed `PSDesiredStateConfiguration.InvokeDscResource` from experimental to permanently enabled feature.
+- Changed `ErrorAction` to `Ignore` so that the error doesn't show up in `$Error`.
+- Removed duplicate result resources from `Get-DSCResourcesModules`.
+- Add `ImplementationDetail` member to results only when the member does not already exist.
+- Updated v2 Release pipeline with latest Compliance requirements.
+- Added SBOM generation that is now released with v2 module.

-# How to Create PSDesiredStateConfiguration NuGet package for PoweShell Core
+# PSDesiredStateConfiguration module
-- Modify psm1 file in PSDesiredStateConfiguration module.
- -- Remove the signature from the bottom of the file.
- -- Add your changes.
- -- Get it signed from DSC Azure dev ops pipeline.
-     Following is the expected signing settings:
-	<file src="__INPATHROOT__\Modules\PSDesiredStateConfiguration\PSDesiredStateConfiguration.psm1" signType="AuthenticodeFormer" dest="__OUTPATHROOT__\Modules\PSDesiredStateConfiguration\PSDesiredStateConfiguration.psm1" />
 
-- Other files under PSDesiredStateConfiguration module doesn’t need to be signed, you can modify them directly.
+**NOTE: We are currently NOT accepting PRs for this project**
 
-- Change the version in nuget spec file.
+**PSDesiredStateConfiguration** (DSC) is the PowerShell module that enables writing configuration as code.
 
-- Check-in these changes in DesiredStateConfiguration repository.
+The DSC platform was originally built on top of WMI for Windows. Starting in PowerShell 7.1 and working
+with internal partner teams
+[Azure Guest Configuration](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/governance/policy/concepts/guest-configuration)
+and [Automanage](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/azure-automanage), we started making
+DSC cross-platform by enabling `Invoke-DSCResource` to directly use resources without going through
+the Local Configuration Manager (LCM).
 
-- Create a NuGet package by running following command, it will generate NuGet package (PSDesiredStateConfiguration.6.2.0.nupkg). Get it published by PowerShell team.
+Our initial cross-platform work to enable partner teams:
-	nuget pack .\psdesiredstateconfiguration.nuspec
 
-# Modify PowerShell code to pick up new version of NuGet package.
+- Separated out the DSC parts in the PowerShell engine and moved them as a subsystem into the
- - Sync PowerShell/PowerShell repository and change NuGet package version in following files
+  PSDesiredStateConfiguration module
-        src/powershell-unix/powershell-unix.csproj
+- Remove PSDesiredStateConfiguration module from the PowerShell 7 package. This allows the
-        src/powershell-win-core/powershell-win-core.csproj
+  PSDesiredStateConfiguration module to be developed independently of PowerShell and users can mix
+  and match versions of PowerShell and PSDesiredStateConfiguration for their environment.
+  - This is now available on the PowerShell Gallery: [PSDesiredStateConfiguration 2.x](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSDesiredStateConfiguration)
+- Removing the dependency on MOF: Initially, only support DSC Resources written as PowerShell
+  classes. This includes tooling to convert existing script based DSC Resources to be wrapped as
+  PowerShell classes.

+The documentation for **PSDesiredStateConfiguration** 3.0.0-beta1 is a work-in-progress. We invite the
+community to review the documentation and assist us as we work on new documentation during the platform
+development.
+
+For more information about DSC v3, see [PowerShell Desired State Configuration Overview](https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/dsc/overview?view=dsc-3.0)

+## Community Feedback
+
+As we continue this journey to make DSC a cross-platform technology, we invite the community to
+share your ideas and open
+[issues](https://github.com/PowerShell/PSDesiredStateConfiguration/issues). During the PowerShell
+7.3 timeframe, we remain focused on enabling partner teams and will not be accepting public pull
+requests.
+
+## Build
+
+### Requirements
+- [Any recent PowerShell Core release](https://github.com/PowerShell/powershell/releases) to run the build script
+- [.NET Core SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/thank-you/sdk-6.0.100-preview.4-windows-x64-binaries) of the version specified in `global.json` (`dotnet` should be visible through PATH env var)
+- [`PSPackageProject` module](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSPackageProject) installed from PS Gallery
+
+### Build Process
+- Run `build.ps1 -Build -Clean`
+- Compiled module will be in `./out/PSDesiredStateConfiguration`
+
+## CI - Continuous Integration
+CI pipeline definition is in `.vsts-ci\azure-pipelines-ci.yml` and running Compliance and Pester tests in `test\PSDesiredStateConfiguration.Tests.ps1` on Windows, Linux and Mac. CI builds are not signed.
+
+## Publishing Releases
+[The module is released on Powershell Gallery](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSDesiredStateConfiguration).
+For a release the code of this repo is mirrored into an internal repo and `.vsts-ci\azure-pipelines-release.yml` pipeline is run. Release builds are signed.
