The Livestatus labels table is used to query the name and value of labels for all entities on a site.

With this change, two new columns are added - type and source.

The type column refers to the type of entity which the label belongs to, either service or host.

The source column refers to how the label was created, either discovered, ruleset or explicit.

Any queries which do not have column constraints must be updated to constrain the column names.

If not that, then the corresponding logic should be updated to handle the new columns.

If your queries have column constraints already then no changes are required.
