Create a Jira Link (remoteLink) to a GitHub Issue and attach it to Jira tickets

The goal of this action is to create a remote link, to a GitHub issue, inside a Jira ticket.

Jira ticket keys can be provided:

• Directly into the action configuration
• Via a text field in a GitHub project attached to the issue
• Via a label attached to the issue

Features:

• Adjust the state of the GitHub issue. Strikes the org/repository link, update an icon and optionally append "[CLOSED]" or "[OPEN]" to the issue title.
• Can be called regularly to maintain the GitHub issue state in sync with the link.
• Remove link ID is based on the GitHub Issue URL, changing the issue title in GitHub will be reflected in the link in Jira.
• Icons can be customized (see parameters)

This action is meant at being started manually (i.e. to instantly push a new label) and on schedule (i.e. to regularly check that all labels with the same name have the same color and description).
