Don't allow bot users to be assigned to issue/pull

Feature Description

Bot users are hidden in gitea, so why would we see them in issues "assignees" filter and be able to assign issues to them?

I see nothing wrong with assigning a bot an issue, if for example the bot is a merger bot, this may be desirable to get the bot to merge it.

Furthermore, as @silverwind mentioned, there might be bots that explicitly listen for issues they are assigned for.
That is an absolutely permitted usecase.
So, this would even be breaking.

I thought that'll be done using labels. Does github allow assigning to bots as well?

Assign action could ask the bot user do something, why not?

I thought assignee means human to resolve an issue (code something, etc.)

Yes, too.
But that's the funny thing about software:
You can only guide the user on how to use it, you cannot forbid unforeseen uses.
