Allow hosts key to be empty for manual labels (#42022)
<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or
remove if NA -->
**Related issue:** Resolves #41672 

# Details

Updates GitOps label functionality so that omitting the `hosts:` key
under a manual label will _not_ clear hosts from that label, but will
instead preserve the existing membership. This allows users to manage
manual hosts with an external system (via the labels API), while still
managing the labels themselves in GitOps.
