Description
Similar to lifetime elision hints, we should have label hints for control flow constructs.
That is for,
loop {
loop: {
break;
}
continue;
}
we should have the following hints
'0: loop {
'1: loop {
break '1;
}
continue '0;
}
For configs, enabled, disabled and a third option for only showing it in nested loop contexts would make sense I think

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing lifetime elision inlay hints and how their configuration is exposed. Define label hints for loop and control-flow constructs, including nested-loop filtering, and verify that the displayed labels match the example and the selected configuration mode.
