Support comma-delimited string as labels in issue template (#21831) (#21873)

Backport #21831.

The [labels in issue YAML templates](https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/syntax-for-issue-forms#top-level-syntax)
can be a string array or a comma-delimited string, so a single string
should be valid labels.

The old codes committed in #20987 ignore this, that's why the warning is
displayed:

Fixes #17877.
