Improve Issue API documentation

Code of Conduct

• I have read and agree to the GitHub Docs project's Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/rest/issues/labels?apiVersion=2022-11-28#add-labels-to-an-issue

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

This API endpoint not only assigns existing labels but also creates a new label if it does not already exist. The newly created label will have a null description and a default color of ededed. This is a convenient feature, and I believe it should be clearly documented to ensure users are aware and can take full advantage of it.

Additional information

I believe this should be resolved in the internal repository. Could we use this issue as a tracking issue and keep it open until the internal issue is addressed?
