Adds a GitHub workflow that uses the actions/stale GitHub action to
automatically leave notifications on and close PRs that have had no
activity for a long time.
Note: Modifications to a PR reset the staleness counter. This
includes pushing to the PR, adding a label to the PR,
commenting on the PR, etc.
If a PR has been marked "stale", simply leaving a comment will
reset the counter.
Configuration choices:
1. Do not attempt to close edk2 GitHub issues.
2. Mark edk2 PRs as stale if no activity in the last 60 days. Close
PRs marked stale if no further activity in 7 days.
3. Do not exempt PRs with a "push" label.
4. Run the check once daily. Allow manual runs from those that have
permission to run GitHub workflows.
5. Add the label "stale" to the PR when it enters the stale state.
Rationale:
1. We do not use issues often enough. The limited usage of GitHub
issues in Tianocore org GitHub projects are in another repo not
impacted by this workflow and expected to track long term tasks.
2. This is the default value. In non-edk2 projects, I've seen these
times work fairly well to identify PRs that have fallen stale.
3. Adding a "push" label resets the stale timer. If a PR has had a
"push" label for 60+ days and has not been fixed for submission,
then it is has very likely been abandoned.
4. This is sufficient to update PRs on the day granularity the
configuration settings are applied against.
5. The label makes it easy to filter stale PRs in the PR list and
write automation around PRs that are stale. It's also an obvious
visual identifier that a PR needs attention in the PR list.

I tested this workflow on my edk2 fork:
