Add configuration for stale bot

[alexeagle]

Should help with issue/PR triage.

Ideally we would have the resources to address and resolve all issues, and review and merge all pull requests. But we don't.
Rather than leave these open indefinitely, it's better to set user expectations that these will just age out.

This is the same config used in rules_nodejs, rules_docker, and rules_python.

Note: I think someone with permissions needs to create the "Can Close?" label on this repo before the GH action runs

Love it in general, one quick question before merging.

[cgruber]

Are these exact, or are they a match? We have labels more like this: type: cleanup I don't think these exempt labels would ever trigger on this project.

[alexeagle]

I assume they are exact, we could check the specification. I'm on vacation at the moment, feel free to amend or add commits.

Assuming we take this PR (and I'm inclined to, once we figure out the other issues with specific labels) I"ll add it.

[cgruber]

Gotcha. I'll take care of it.
