How to set up and validate locally

  1. Go to Manage > Labels in your project's sidebar and add some workflow labels similar to how they are set up in the GitLab project.
  2. Assign yourself some issues in the project and also randomly set some labels, including workflow labels on those issues.
  3. Use the below GLQL query in a new wiki page:
```glql
---
display: table 
fields: title, assignees, labels("workflow"), labels, health
---
assignee = currentUser()
```
  1. The above query should extract all workflow labels in the Label: Workflow column, and they should not show up the Labels column anymore.

In addition to the labels function, this MR also introduces some field aliases to solve #480712 (closed). See file app/assets/javascripts/glql/core/transformer/field_aliases.js for a list of aliases.
