Enable auto-locking of issues closed long ago (#3821)

* Enable auto-locking of issues closed long ago

Issues that were closed more than 90 days ago will be locked automatically so
that no additional comments would be allowed. We will use a bot to do
this: https://probot.github.io/apps/lock/

Background: As a maintainer, I often see people leaving comments to old issue
posts that were closed long ago. Those comments are hard to discover and assist
with, since they get buried under list of other active issues.

With the change, users who want to follow up with an old issue would be asked
to file a new issue.

* Exempt `feature-request` from auto locking

* Disable comment to avoid triggering notification
