meta: Add Showcase section to PR template (#11750)
# Objective

Oftentimes I find myself reading through a PR and not quite
understanding what's going on. Even if it's super detailed, it can
sometimes be difficult to imagine what the end result of the PR might
look like.

For example, #10756 clearly communicates its goals and contains a
descriptive Changelog. However, I was still a bit lost as to what a user
might see from the change until I saw the dedicated example in the diff.

## Solution

At the risk of giving contributors more work, I think a dedicated
`Showcase` section could be really nice.

Along with providing reviewers stumbling on the PR with a "tangible
summary" of the change, it should also help out when working on the
release post. Sometimes someone other than the PR's author has to write
up a blog section on the PR. This can be somewhat daunting to people
wanting to contribute in that effort as they have to rely on the
Migration Guide giving a decent example (assuming it's a breaking
change), piecing together the other sections into a sensible example
themselves, or manually reading through the diff.

Theoretically, this new `Showcase` section would be more of an
encouragement than a strict requirement. And it's probably only going to
be useful where there is something to showcase (e.g. visual changes, API
changes, new features, etc.).

### Bikeshedding

- **Naming.** I also considered `Demo` and `Example`, but there may be
others we prefer. I chose `Showcase` to communicate the feeling of fun
and appreciation for the work contributors put in.
- **Position.** I placed the section right above the `Changelog` section
since I felt it made sense to move from the details in `Solution` to a
brief example in `Showcase` to a tl;dr of the changes in `Changelog`
- **Phrasing.** We can also bikeshed the bullet points and phrasing of
each as well.
