Support new GitHub projects

I realize that these are still in beta over in GitHub-land, but their new projects look a lot more useful than the old ones, and it would be nice to be able to connect Sunsama to new style projects.

The new version of GitHub Projects now show up in Sunsama! You'll find them right alongside the other projects ("classic" as GitHub calls them), in the "Projects" panel, ready to be selected. All Issues and Pull-Requests associated with a project can be navigated like you're used to from the other panels.

What isn't supported yet is navigating the issues and pull-requests by the Views that were introduced with the new GitHub Projects. For big and complicated projects, that might it hard to find exactly which Issue or Pull-Request you're looking for. When that's the case, for now, we recommend using the powerful Views in GitHub itself to find the item you'd like to add to Sunsama and copy-pasting its URL into the title of a new Sunsama task. Use the "Add Task" button at the top of each day, or choose "Add Task" in the Command Bar (open with CMD+K).

My company uses these extensively. In fact, all my primary tasks are grouped into a one or two Beta projects at the org level. The nice thing (from an integration perspective, IMO) is that the new API is just GraphQL, making it pretty easy to manipulate.

Here's the API documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/issues/trying-out-the-new-projects-experience/using-the-api-to-manage-projects
