Bugfix: Restore stale workflow functionality

The stale workflows are currently failing with the error:

    Invalid workflow file: .github/workflows/stale.yml#L26
    The workflow is not valid. .github/workflows/stale.yml (Line: 26, Col: 11): A sequence was not expected

To fix this, the list of exempt-issues-labels in .github/workflows/stale.yml
must be a  comma separated list. A single quote is placed around the list to
allow for use of colons in label names.
