Add the default labels

Add the default labels a repository does not have yet: bug, documentation, duplicate, enhancement, good first issue, help wanted, invalid, question, wontfix, dependencies and security.

Labels it has already are left as they are. Returns every label it has now. Needs the Write role or higher; applying labels and milestones needs Triage.

422	`invalid`	The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why.
