Sends orderBy: {field: ISSUE_COUNT, direction: DESC} on the GraphQL
labels query so the most-used labels (by issue count) are returned
first. ISSUE_COUNT is accepted by the GitHub GraphQL API but is not
part of the public schema docs or the githubv4 client library's
LabelOrderField constants, so it is defined locally.
