Limit labels returned for a specific project as an administrator

Prior, an administrator viewing a project's Labels page would see _all_
labels from every project they had access to, rather than only the
labels of that specific project (if any).

This was not an information disclosure, as admins have access to
everything, but it was a performance issue.
