ci: fix some minor issues in the backport ci job
-Due to a newer version we need to use add_labels instead of just
labels
-The backport PR will now also copy the milestones in case the
milstones were set
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a routine maintenance fix for the project's automated GitHub workflow that creates backport pull requests. It updates a configuration option name from 'labels' to 'add_labels' to match a newer version of the workflow action, and enables copying of milestone settings from the original pull request to the backport. There is no change to the actual Lightning Network node software or anything that could affect user funds or network security.
No security action required. This is a benign CI workflow maintenance change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch modifies .github/workflows/backport.yml and docs/backport-workflow.md only. It changes the backport GitHub Action parameter from ‘labels’ to ‘add_labels’ (a compatibility update for a newer action version) and adds ‘copy_milestone: true’. These are CI/release-process configuration changes with no impact on lnd runtime code, cryptography, networking, or consensus logic.
