Description

Closes #171

Added an automated workflow that will alert us when an issue or pull request has been left inactive for too long. Issues will be deleted after 7 days of being left stale but prs will not. Combining this with the automated workflows in our project board should help the core team keep a close eye on issues and prs if any become redundant or are left unanswered for too long.

I order to 'refresh' a stale issue or pr all that's needed is that a user becomes active on it by either commenting, reviewing or pushing new code.

Files changed

created .github/workflows/stale.yml file to automate the workflow
added @actions/github dependency

UI changes

No UI changes 🙅

Changes to Documentation

No new documentation needed as this will run in the background

Tests

This PR does not affect the behaviour of the code and did not require writing new tests. HOWEVER, the workflow has been tested with the act command on the terminal.

You will need to have docker installed and run the command act -s GITHUB_KEY=secrets.GITHUB_KEY to simulate the github action in a container. You can view an update on each step of the action and the final result in your terminal.
