Add new timebox scrum item and related documentation (#12929)
There have been several tickets created for investigation or research
purposes like [this one ](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/issues/12904)
that we don't have a ticket type for within our current three types
(`story`, `~sub-task`, and `bug`). This results in the existing scrum
item types needing to be misused. I'm adding a fourth type called
`timebox` at Mike's request. I'm also including documentation on the
usage of this new type.

Lastly, I'm proposing we stop calling sub-tasks "unestimated sub-tasks"
in the GitHub template because it is confusing and inaccurate. Our
documentation states: "Sub-tasks are labeled as `~sub-task` and enable
us to break down complex tasks into more detailed and easier-to-estimate
work units.". In our estimation sessions, we put point estimates on
sub-tasks.

The spirit of this statement is that all sub-task points bubble up to
their parent story, and the parent story is what matters to the rest of
the business. That is clearly defined in our documentation and processes
and will not confuse our usage of stories.
