Deprecate the `Pick into x.x` labels on the GitLab group
Context
As part of adopting the new patch release process, patch releases will no longer be built based on the merge requests with the Pick into x.y
label, instead, maintainers will be allowed to merge bug fixes into stable branches. For context, this label is owned by Delivery and automatically generated every time a new release cycle starts.
