Issue types, sub-issues, and relationships in gh issue

This release brings GitHub's advanced issue features to gh issue create, edit, view, and list. You can set and view an issue's type, organize work with sub-issues, and track blocked-by and blocking relationships without leaving the command line:

:::shell
# Set an issue's type
gh issue create --type Bug
gh issue edit 123 --type Bug

# Organize work with sub-issues
gh issue create --parent 100
gh issue edit 100 --add-sub-issue 123

# Track blocked-by and blocking relationships
gh issue create --blocked-by 200
gh issue edit 123 --add-blocking 300

Issue types and sub-issues are available on GitHub.com and GHES 3.17+; relationships require GHES 3.19+.

Manage discussions with gh discussion

This release introduces the discussion command set for working with GitHub Discussions in gh:

:::shell
# List discussions
gh discussion list

# View a discussion, its comments, or replies to a comment
gh discussion view 123 --comments

# Create a discussion
gh discussion create

# Edit a discussion
gh discussion edit 123

# Comment on a discussion
gh discussion comment 123

# Reply to a comment using its URL
gh discussion comment <url>

Run gh discussion --help for more information.

[!NOTE] The discussion command set is in preview and is subject to change without notice.
