new mono-repo to host Zenoh related research

[kydos]

The Eclipse Zenoh project does not currently have a repository to host R&D that is developed in EU projects, nor any other experimental activity related to Zenoh Research. zenoh-labs is intended to be the Zenoh research mono-repo.

[Copilot]

The topics list includes values that are not valid GitHub repository topics (must be lowercase and cannot contain spaces). In particular, 'Research' and 'EU Project' will likely cause the GitHub API call / otterdog sync to fail. Use lowercase, hyphenated topics instead (e.g., 'research', 'eu-project') to match the convention used elsewhere in this file.

Suggested change

	'Research',
	'EU Project',
	'research',
	'eu-project',

Spelling: 'releated' should be 'related' in the repository description.
