Enable new ITSM template for existing Jira SM project

[Martin Boehme]

When rebranding Jira SD to Jira Service Management, a new ITSM template became available.

When creating a new Jira SM project using this template, you get a couple of additional features, e.g. Opsgenie integration out of the box etc.
