Option to ignore draft PRs

[Cyberboss]

It would be nice to have the option to ignore draft PRs as they are implied to be not ready and can be filtered out.

Thanks for the bump. I do like this idea and it is probably pretty easy to implement and test. Will take a look...

I went back to our issues API and it doesn't include draft for pull requests, which means making extra calls for every PR to see if it is draft. So while I love this idea I don't think it's worth making the extra changes to deal with draft PRs right now.

Closing draft PRs is frustratingly annoying, that coupled with #98, the inability to have spaces in labels, the stale action closed a bunch of PRs that it shouldn't have over a long weekend.

So basically this action is pretty useless if one uses Draft PRs?
This is already quite old GH feature, but official action doesn't support it.
Are there any plans to fix that somehow?

I don't worry much about amount of API calls, we usually have not so much PRs, so why not add this as optional?
Or improve GH API to contain this info without additional calls?

@nantiferov one way that already exists is to add a specific label for draft PRs, so you can omit the stale on it.
It's not convenient though because most repositories are not allowing contributors to add a label.

Regarding what the stale action can do, I am in favor of adding a new option which allow people to ignore draft PRs even if we need an extra endpoint call.
Like the #359 feature request, we can simply warn and discourage such kind of option for consumers that care about API rate limit, but giving this choice is significant IMO.
I am interested in providing such PR BTW.

@luketomlinson can you reopen?
