[FEAT]: allow issue Type management via the REST API client

[jeherve]

Describe the need

GitHub recently introduced "Issue Types", a new way to categorize and filter issues per type.

The change was announced in this blog post, and is detailed in https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/139933

It is already possible to add a type to an issue via the GraphQL API: there is an IssueType object to manage issue types at the organization level to create, update, and delete them.

It would be nice if a similar option was added to the REST API Client, as part of issues.

in the meantime, you can manually use the endpoint with octokit.request()

Coming back to this, it seems you are wanting new features on the REST endpoint.
Octokit is simply wrapping the requests.

You can request new features here:

Good point. I started a new discussion here:
https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/140874

I'll come back here once the option is available in the API, and then maybe we can add a new wrapper for it in Octokit.
