Subject: [PATCH] Now use the "stale" GitHub action instead of StaleBot

.github/no-response.yml
.github/stale.yml
- Removed

.github/workflows/stale.yml
- Configuration file for GitHub "stale" action, which replaces
  StaleBot.  Use the most recent list of issue/PR labels to never
  be marked stale.

CHANGELOG.md
- Updated accordingly
