ci: write down breaking change policy (#1294)

* Enforce conventional commit PR titles
* Add automatic labelling of PRs
* Write down breaking change policy.

Left for another PR:
* Validation of breaking change version bumps. (This is complicated due
to separate releases for Python and other package.)
