doc, bin: stop suggesting opening node-gyp issues
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
A lot of new issues in node-gyp are related to outdated node-gyp or
broken modules. This removes the suggestion to open a new issue in the
node-gyp, instead suggesting the user should open the issue in the
module issue tracker. It also makes the issue template more explicit
about providing the logs.

Thank you for reporting an issue!
Remember, this issue tracker is for reporting issues ONLY with node-gyp.
If you have an issue installing a specific module, please file an issue on
that module's issue tracker (`npm issues modulename`). Open issue here only if
you are sure this is an issue with node-gyp, not with the module you are
trying to build.
Fill out the form below. We probably won't investigate an issue that does not
provide the basic information we require.
