Enable Hacktoberfest

[TimJentzsch]

What problem does this solve or what need does it fill?

Hacktoberfest is an ongoing event that encourages people to contribute to open source projects. Since taffy is a bit low on contributors, but not too hard to get into, this might be a nice opportunity for us to get more help.

What solution would you like?

Opt into Hacktoberfest. I believe we need to add the hacktoberfest topic to the repository on GitHub.

What alternative(s) have you considered?

Don't opt in. This can also have some downsides, such as low effort contributions that just aim to get the rewards.

Can you find the details here? I couldn't immediately find this on the site.

It sounds like adding the topic is enough, and then merging the PRs. You can also add the hacktoberfest-accepted label, but we'd probably only need that for Bevy due to the different merging process.

Apply the “hacktoberfest” label to issues you want contributors to help with in your GitHub or GitLab project. Choose issues that have a well-defined scope and are self-contained.

Looks like you also need to label issues you want people to submit PRs for.

This one appears to be optional :) Marking merged PRs should also not be needed, since we're not using bors. Added the label.
