Support for labeling based on PR title

[rzvxa]

Description: It would be nice if we could use this action to set up a step that would label PRs based on their title. Take feat(xxx): something and fix(yyy): something else as examples. We can write a configuration like this:

T-feat:
  - pr-title: "^feat"

T-fix:
 - pr-title: "^fix"

And get respective labels on PRs based on their titles.

Justification: Allows automation for workflows that have PR naming conventions and we already have something similar with the branch names, So if there isn't an API restriction making it impossible it can be a useful addition.

Are you willing to submit a PR? Yes

For our case we would also find this very useful for applying a "DO-NOT-MERGE" label to a PR when they have "do not merge" in the title

This would be a huge benefit for our use case as well. We don't enforce anything on individual branches, only on the actual merge where we squash and use the PR title and description.

So our branch names aren't curated, but our PR titles are. Which unfortunately falls outside of the current action configuration.

Tracking this with the good work done in #866.

Big +1 to this feature request. It would be great to get rid of my custom solution:

1. Take the all-labels output from this action
2. Use gh pr view to get the PR title (dynamic value whereas github.event.pull_request.title is statically set per workflow trigger)
3. Use gh pr edit to add/remove labels (if applicable) after analyzing the title.
