Add a rather-conservative stale issue action in dry-run mode (#18233)

Zed is becoming more popular and our issue tracker is only growing
larger and larger. I realize that a stale issue action can be
controversial, but the way we currently manage issues hasn't scaled well
and it will only get worse. We need some crowd-sourced system. Let's ask
those who have opened issues if their issues are still valid. This is
rather conservative and only targets bugs and crashes. I'll run it in
debug mode, report the results, and enable it if it feels right. We can
always turn this off if users end up really not liking it.

My original rules were:

```txt
If an issue is old enough (12 months or older)
AND if there are no recent comments from the team (last dev comment is older than 6 months)
AND it has less than X upvotes (5)
AND it does not have an open PR linked to it
AND is a "defect" or "panic / crash"
AND does not have a "ignore top-ranking issues" label
AND was not opened by a org member
AND is open
AND is issue (not a pull request)

THEN close the issue with a kind message.
```

But only some of these were actually supported in the configuration.
