This commit adds a new workflow which runs on pushes (merges) to any of the long-running branches and whenever the contents of a pull requests changes. It will check whether any open PRs are in a "conflict state" (after the push) and if so, will add a "merge conflict" label and leave a comment on the PR asking the OP to solve the conflict. The workflow will automatically remove the label again when the conflict is resolved. This workflow uses a reusable action stored in the `.github` repository which takes care of the default settings, though a number of settings can still be overruled for an individual repo. For now, it has not been deemed necessary to overrule these though.
