Target: main

Description of Change

This will let us have a view on the release project boards that show all PRs that landed on a given major. After the release branch is cut our processes label backports with the major label, but PRs targeting main never get a major label. Once they've merged we know what their major version will be, so apply the label at that point.

This also updates workflows to add PRs to the correct project and set a "Semver" field accordingly so we can use it for grouping PRs by their semver type.

I've back populated the labels for 44-x-y and here's what the project view looks like: https://github.com/orgs/electron/projects/130/views/5
