Add ECWoC26 issue infrastructure with 28 templated issues and GitHub workflows

[Copilot]

Elite Coders Winter of Code 2026 (ECWoC26) requires structured issue templates for contributor onboarding. Created comprehensive documentation and GitHub templates enabling maintainers to rapidly generate labeled issues.

Core Documentation

• ECWOC26_ISSUES.md: 28 ready-to-create issues spanning documentation, backend, frontend, security, testing, ML, and DevOps

  • 5 good first issues (1-3h each)
  • 11 medium complexity (4-10h)
  • 12 advanced (12-40h)
  • Each includes: description, expected outcome, technical requirements, estimated time, related issue references

• ECWOC26_QUICK_START.md: Maintainer playbook for issue creation via web UI, GitHub CLI, or batch scripts. Includes assignment guidelines, tracking recommendations, and phased rollout plan.

• ECWOC26_SUMMARY.md: Quick-reference matrix with statistics, priority rankings, and contributor pathfinding by skill area.

GitHub Infrastructure

• Issue Templates (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/): 7 templates including ECWoC26-specific good first issue, enhancement, and security templates. Config links to documentation resources.

• Pull Request Template: Standardized checklist covering change type, testing, security considerations.

README Integration

Updated Contributing section with ECWoC26 callout, direct links to issue templates, and simplified contribution workflow pointing to Issue #1 for formal guidelines.

Usage Pattern

# Maintainers can create issues programmatically
gh issue create \
  --title "[ECWoC26] Add Contributing Guidelines" \
  --label "ECWoC26,documentation,good first issue" \
  --body "$(cat ECWOC26_ISSUES.md | sed -n '/Issue 1:/,/---/p')"

Issues reference existing security/quality concerns (#57, #59, #60, #64-76) for context continuity.
