Support central location for labels

[ssbarnea]

Instead of having to store labels inside each repository, it would be great if we can use a URL to point it to a centralized location where these could be loaded from.

@ssbarnea Nice idea, could be done with #3

@ssbarnea But since the file would no longer be in the repository, there would be no way to trigger the build. This is therefore not feasible until GitHub has introduced the addition of custom triggers or manual build triggering.

Wouldn't a github action with cron expression / manual dispatch suffice?

inside the org's .github repo one could create a repository dispatch job for all the repos using the central labels with the help of this action https://github.com/marketplace/actions/repository-dispatch

FYI, remote label definitions are supported by julb/action-manage-label.
