benlei/find-issue-by-title

Finds a single issue by exact title, with ability to additionally filter by state and labels for reducing rate limiting purposes.

Internally what it does is it lists all issues for a repository and filters by state and labels, then tries to match every issue title with the provided title. If you for some reason pass along the issue number, it will return that issue directly instead.
