Support for custom labels/patterns by users

[Cnordbo]

Feature suggestion: Using bots like dependabot or security advisory bots that automatically creates PRs with suggested fixes/updates, it would be nice to be able to ignore PRs from those users globally or per label.

Issue Example: Dependabot issues a PR for an updated package.

Labeler: Reports the PR as "Missing tests"

Conclusion: You don`t test your dependencies to see if they run OK. And so its safe to say that this label does not belong on this PR.

Workaround: Dont include the label if there is a change to package.json in the PR.

Cons for workaround: PRs that update/add/remove a package in their PR as a result of a change, will be able to not get flagged as missing tests.

Not sure if this is going to solve your use-case, but you should be able to ignore an actor with:

if: github.actor != 'github-actions[bot]'

or

if: github.actor != 'dependabot[bot]'

Conditionals can be used both at a step level or a job level.
