[core-workflow] Auto labeling PRs based on what stage they're in

[Brett Cannon]

https://github.com/python/bedevere/pull/33 contains the PR I'm planning to
merge at some point to handle the automatic labeling of  PRs based on their
current stage. The diagram is in the waiting.py file as a string literal so
you can use webgraphviz.com if you want to look at the stages and how they
transition.

Unless someone points out a major flaw or speaks up that they think the
labels or this idea is really bad, I will probably merge it sometime next
week (after I get my test coverage back up).
