Tide now supports merging PR's by priority

[Daniel Hiller]

Hey,

I just wanted to inform everyone that with a recent PR [1] we have added configuration for Tide that defines which labels identify priority PRs. This means that for each label combination that is mentioned in the PR Tide will give a PR with that combination priority.

Please use this feature responsibly and only if absolutely required. The label names should be clear enough when you would be eligible to use them. As a rule of thumb only approvers should set these combinations for PRs.

Example: there's a fix PR for a flaky test in queue, which needs to get merged first to unblock other PRs, so that their tests don't fail any more. This PR would be eligible for priority and you would do it by commenting 

/kind flake

/priority critical-urgent

Same goes (but obviously with a different kind) for critical bugs (/type bug) and flaky tests that should be quarantined (/kind failing-test)

Thanks!
