Automatically add type: release and skip-changelog to release PRs (…

…#59)

Also adds possibility to attach labels to the release PR :

By default it attaches `skip-changelog` and `type: release` to the
newly created release PR. It happened in some occasions that
the release PR leaked into the changelog of the next release, requiring
the release lead to manually remove it.
