[General] Update issue tracker's duplicate resolution message (#47981)

Reopens the change from #46743 (which appears to be broken) on a fresh
branch.

Original author: @daverayment

## Summary

GitHub newcomers can be confused by the current duplicate resolution
message, as it doesn't clearly point to the original referenced issue -
see
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/46347#issuecomment-4103681050.
They may not realise that the #12345 in the duplicate comment is the
relevant link.

This small wording update to the duplicate resolution message tightens
up wording slightly and includes reference to the prior `/dup #nnn`
comment so newcomers don't miss it.
