Document blank issue access for maintainers when blank_issues_enabled is false
When blank_issues_enabled is set to false, users with write access or above (Write, Maintain, Admin) now still see the 'Blank issue' option in the template chooser with a 'Maintainers only' label. Contributors with Read or Triage access continue to only see configured templates. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

You can encourage contributors to use issue templates by setting `blank_issues_enabled` to `false`. If you set `blank_issues_enabled` to `true`, people will have the option to open a blank issue.

This allows maintainers to bypass template restrictions when needed. Contributors with Read or Triage access will only see the configured templates.

> If you used the legacy workflow to manually create an `issue_template.md` file in the `.github` folder and enable blank issues in your _config.yml_ file, the template in `issue_template.md` will be used when people choose to open a blank issue. If you disable blank issues, the template will never be used.
