[GOOD FIRST ISSUE]: chore: Align repository with AOSSIE Template-Repo standards

Context

AOSSIE maintains a Template-Repo that defines the organisation-wide standards for all projects — CI/CD workflows, security scanning, issue templates, PR templates, code review config, contributor documentation, and more.

DebateAI currently has none of these in place. This means:

• No automated security scanning (CodeQL, Gitleaks, OSV)
• No standardised issue or PR templates
• No Dependabot for dependency updates
• No stale-issue management
• No contributor guide, privacy policy, or maintainers list
• No automated label management on PRs
• No best-practices checklist tracking

What Needs to Be Done

• Add all 19 GitHub Actions workflows from Template-Repo (security, release, label sync, stale, etc.)
• Add issue templates: bug report, feature request, good first issue, contact links
• Add PR template with checklist and AI-usage notice
• Add dependabot.yml tailored for DebateAI's stack (npm/Go/Docker/pip)
• Add CONTRIBUTING.md with DebateAI-specific setup instructions
• Add MAINTAINERS.md, PRIVACY.md, BestPracticesChecklist.md
• Add .coderabbit.yaml, .editorconfig, .pre-commit-config.yaml
• Add .goreleaser.yaml, VERSION, socket.yml, dangerfile.js
• Add .vscode/extensions.json and settings.example.json
• Add .gitattributes and .templatesyncignore
