Description

Describe the proposed change(s).

Support new option automergeType=label.

By default this would use the label automerge but it should be configurable like this: automergeType=label:merge.

Research direction
The issue requests adding a new automergeType=label option similar to automergeType=pr. Look into how automergeType is handled in the config definitions and the automerge logic. Relevant files likely include config/options.ts and the automerge implementation. The maintainers should clarify if the default label should be 'automerge' and how to configure it.
