Summary

This adds the ability to provide a list of labels to add to PRs created by the backport workflow. The scenario is that I'd like to label backport PRs in the SDK repo with backport. This allows for better querying when performing weekly build duty. I've used Copilot to create these changes. This is what our SDK repo workflow would look like with these changes:

name: Backport PR to branch
on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]

permissions:
  contents: write
  issues: write
  pull-requests: write
  actions: write

jobs:
  backport:
    uses: dotnet/arcade/.github/workflows/backport-base.yml@main
    with:
        pr_labels: backport
        pr_description_template: |
          Backport of #%source_pr_number% to %target_branch%

          /cc %cc_users%
