This PR adds the config for stalebot. This was agreed in the recent conversation about how to help move things forward.

I've set issues to be marked stale at 90 days of no activity and closed if no activity persists for 30 more days.

We've been using stalebot with this config over at SUIR for a while and it is going well.

Neither of these labels are in current use.
Perhaps Confirmed Bug would be a good starting label.

We might want to consider adding the Enhancement label to the exempt labels, lots of the issues which are being marked as stale labelled with enhancement are just getting bumped/+1.

This would defeat the purpose of the bot. The (unfortunate) reality is, without action most ideas will never be implemented. The purpose of the bot is to clean up those things that just won't actually ever happen.

@levithomason Ye when I was looking through I kinda came to the same opinion, didn't realise there were so many issues labelled with Enhancement.

OK cool, glad we're on the same page. It took me 2 years of swimming in issues at SUIR before coming to terms with it.
