Use labels to categorize changes about windows_exporter HOT 3 CLOSED

I think it'll be a good improvement to our current method of generating changelogs, where we use the Github-generated output and manually modify (such as adding categories).

A couple questions:

1. Is an additional tool required to parse the schema and PR labels?
2. As all PRs will now require labels, would the project maintainers need to ensure each PR is labelled? Could we possibly allow contributors to label their own PRs (if that's even a good idea)?

No, it's an native feature of Github-generated changelogs

Could we possibly allow contributors to label their own PRs?

That would be only possible with an action that labels the PR based on a PR title prefix. In general contributor does not have permissions to define labels.

Nice! Let's go ahead and use the schema.

I had a feeling this was the case but thought it worth asking. Let's leave the behaviour for this unchanged, and we can add labels to PRs. There's not so many PRs coming through that there'd be much labeling work.
