This is to allow cleanly merging PRs we raise every new minor version, such as #37312

The existing mechanism along with no-changelog-needed works for the common cases of regular functional PRs but not for these PRs where we are intentionally changing Changelog related files and at the same time changing nothing functionally.

This would be unexpected situation under any other circumstance - and should continue to be raised by the checks outside of these PRs.

I'm not against adding this in general, but I feel like adding a second label that could be confused with the other label is a bit much for once a quarter PRs where we could just document that this PR will fail and it's okay to ignore it

@DanielMSchmidt I did think about that and concluded that the risk is relatively minimal, considering the audience is just our own team - not random people raising PRs - and also the existing label still comes up first in the completion box if you type changelog

I can add something like "DO NOT USE unless you know what you're doing" kind of warning into the description but regardless I think the risk is very minimal and the naming should make the difference relatively clear.
