[Architecture] Labeler Action

[eprice555]

Part of the OSS Architecture track

This YAML file defines a GitHub Action that labels issues or pull requests opened by new contributors with the "new contributor" label. It uses the actions/checkout action to check out the repository, and installs the GitHub CLI to interact with the GitHub API. It then checks if the event is an issue or pull request, and adds the "new contributor" label to the issue or pull request using the gh issue add-label or gh pr add-label command, respectively.

Task

• Within the .yaml workflow files, configure the labeler action for this project
• Add inline comments

Suggestions: try this prompt with copilot "how to create a labeler GitHub Action like this one https://github.com/actions/labeler"
