Add severity labels with add only scoped feature
What does this MR do and why?
This MR adds the severity
label as part of a new add only scoped labels feature. This allows scoped labels to be used with the label command but does not allow them to replace existing scoped labels.
Currently when wider community contributors add labels during triage they cannot use the scope of severity
labels despite this being documented in the handbook: https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/infrastructure/engineering-productivity/issue-triage/#partial-triage-checklist
See this recent example of an issue where a community contributor attempted to use @gitlab-bot label ~"severity::4"
but received an invalid message: gitlab-org/gitlab#457543 (comment 1876428520)
