📋 Description

Currently, users can only interact with issues and pull requests using standard emoji reactions. While emojis are great for expression, they don't provide a structured way to sort or prioritize issues based on community demand.

We should introduce a dedicated Upvote / Downvote system for issues and pull requests (similar to StackOverflow, Reddit, or GitLab). This will allow maintainers and the community to easily identify highly requested features or critical bug reports.

💡 Proposed Solution

UI Elements:
- Add an upvote (▲) and downvote (▼) arrow component to the sidebar or the top-right corner of an issue/PR header.
- Display a net score (Upvotes minus Downvotes).
Sorting & Filtering:
- Add a "Most Voted" / "Highest Score" option to the issue and PR list sorting dropdown menu.
Behavior:
- A user can only upvote or downvote an issue once. Clicking the same arrow again removes their vote.
- Clicking the opposite arrow switches their vote.
