build: filter issues & PRs to auto close by matching on stalled label
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The auto closing of issues & PRs labelled with `stalled` doesn't seem
to be working as expected. The GitHub Action UI gives the impression
the stale action tries to execute more operations than it is allowed to
do.

Previously there was no filtering on issues & PRs. So when it tries to
fetch all the currently open issues, checking whether or not they should
be get closed, it would have to perform quite a few requests pagination
requests to get the information needed.

Knowing that we only care about issues & PRs already labelled `stalled`,
we can provide the [`only-labels`](https://github.com/actions/stale/blob/13b324e4b28a2708236aadb11361fa65af60d201/action.yml#L38)
option to make sure we only fetch relevant issues.
