The action doesn't add new labels to the PR, when changes are added to parts of the code base with associated labels

[nlykkei]

Description:
The action doesn't added labels to the PR, when new changes are added. It only removes labels, when the PR no longer changes respective files, see sync-labels: true. I need to create the labels manually before the action is able to properly label PRs.

Action version:
v5

Platform:

• Ubuntu
• macOS
• Windows

Runner type:

• Hosted
• Self-hosted

Repro steps:
NA

Expected behavior:
I would expect that labels are dynamically created and added to the PR, when changes are introduced that change other parts of the code with associated labels.

The action only supports removing labels, not adding them, on changes.

I think this is the same thing as #807

I have a fork that does this -> https://github.com/athackst/labeler/tree/feature/create-labels.

Happy to PR it if there's interest
