What type of PR is this?
What this PR does / why we need it:
We haven't had stalebot working for a while. This implementation gets rid of the old stale config, and introduces the official GitHub Action for stale issues/PRs: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/close-stale-issues
Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
None.
Special notes for your reviewer:
You'll note debug mode is turned on - this means that it should take no action against anything until we remove that flag. Relevant doco
I'll monitor what I can see in the Actions output as time allows, and raise a new PR in the next week or so to remove the flag, including any tweaks that seem worthwhile.
Also TBC whether there'd be permissions issues, but I think we fix forward with that once we see how it wants to act.
Testing
Very little, per the special notes, the plan would be to implement this effectively dormant, and then tweak config as needed based on what we see "in production".
