Disabling GitHub issue types

[encukou]

The short story

Dear @python/organization-owners,
Please disable issue types in the python organization to restore status quo from before January 13.
(edit to clarify: Our repos don't use issue types, see below. Even if they did, disabling rather than deleting prevents possible data loss.)

Long version

On January 3, GitHub introduced a new feature: Issue Types.
These are now turned on for the python organizations. In the cpython repository, they essentially duplicate existing type-* labels.
Since existing issues use labels, that's what one needs to use for searching. To make such searches work, labels need to be used on new issues (optionally with a redundant type).

I see no advantage of using issue types over labels yet.

As of now, all 6 cpython issues with Types have the corresponding label. I checked all repos in the python org that were updated in the last month; none have issues with types.

We can discuss whether to enable them again: https://discuss.python.org/t/79440

This is complete.
