Subject: make PR template checklist more useful

Goal is to make it so that every PR should check off every checklist
item before it is considered complete.

Removed mention of labels.  Since contributors outside the org don't
have permission to add labels, it's not possible for any such
contributor to ever check those items off.  Opted instead to prescribe
bracketed PR title prefixes, which are accessible to all.

Re-ordered checklist items to better represent chronological progress.
