#8087: Reduce workflow keyword options when opening new tickets

-------------------------+--------------------
 Either removing or disabling options in the Workflow Keywords `<select>`
 can reduce clutter and avoid some confusion on the Create New Ticket page.

 Some people open tickets on (Core) Trac with the 'reporter-feedback' or
 'changes-requested' keywords, referring to their feedback or their request
 for changes.

 Several other keywords do not fit for new tickets either, such as 'needs-
 refresh' and 'close'.

 Most of the 'needs-' keywords are good, but it would be too early to
 assign most 'has-' keywords. I have added 'has-patch' and 'has-
 screenshots' when attaching files to new tickets, and 'has-unit-tests'
 might fit just as well as the other two.

 Apart from 'good-first-bug', the `gardenerKeywordList` is usually
 unnecessary for new tickets. For the rare occasion that a gardener knows a
 ticket needs 'early' consideration before it is open, the manual entry
 field is still available.
