…est` and pass by value Towards google#3644. BREAKING CHANGE: `IssuesService.CreateLabel` now takes a `CreateLabelRequest` by value (with a required non-pointer `Name`), and `IssuesService.EditLabel` takes an `UpdateLabelRequest` by value instead of a `*Label`. The update endpoint expects the rename field as `new_name`, not `name`.

CreateLabelRequest, UpdateLabelRequest are too broad. Let's add a prefix:

I left the verb at the start, as that seems to align more with the rest of the repository. Always happy to be challenged here.

…struct with schema Towards google#3644. BREAKING CHANGE: - Rename `CreateLabelRequest`/`UpdateLabelRequest` to `CreateIssueLabelRequest`/`UpdateIssueLabelReques ` (verb-first, consistent with `CreateIssueRequest`). - Align the `Label` response struct with the schema: the always-present fields (`id`, `url`, `name`, `color`, `default`, `node_id`) are now non-pointer, while nullable `description` stays `*string`.
