ASP.NET Core area label consolidation

[JunTaoLuo]

Goals

Last week, we discussed the idea of consolidating some of the labels we use for issue management. The main goals of this effort are:

1. Reduce the number of mis-tagged issues due to the confusion of which area labels should be applied
2. Make the labels more clearly indicate which group/triage is responsible for tracking the filed issues

Update to area labels

Considering the above goals, we are proposing to conslidate some existing labels into area-servers and update the scope of area-infrastructure.

Specifically:

area-servers

This is a new area and will be owned by the Servers aka K-Core team. It will include all the functionality covered by the current tags:

area-azure
area-caching
area-hosting
area-httpclientfactory
area-middleware
area-servers
area-websockets
part of area-platform

Issues that fall under these areas will continue to be triaged during the K-Core triage and replacement feature-* tags will be used for clarification and organization purposes. The features tags are optional and are not mandatory until triaged by the K-Core team. The features also ensure we don't lose granularity in organizing aspnetcore issues. Currently, some issues in area-platform are tagged as such since it affects aspnetcore as a whole. These issues will be tagged with area-servers without any specific feature tag. For example, #27270

area-infrastructure

This existing area will be owned by the Build v-team and be updated to include all the functionality covered by the current tags:

area-infrastructure
area-installers
part of area-platform

Issues that fall under these areas will be triaged during the Build standup. A replacement feature-installers will replace the area-installers tag. The issues in area-plaform that are categorized as mechanically more related to infrastructure will be moved into this area. For example, #25917

unaffected areas

The following areas will not change in content:

area-dataprotection
area-grpc
area-healthchecks
area-identity
area-signalr
area-blazor
area-commandlinetools
area-mvc
area-perf
area-razor.compiler
area-razor.tooling
area-security
