Configure Dependabot to check for outdated actions used in workflows (#…

…56)

Dependabot will periodically check the versions of all actions used in the repository's workflows. If any are found to
be outdated, it will submit a pull request to update them.

NOTE: Dependabot's PRs will occasionally propose to pin to the patch version of the action (e.g., updating
 to ). When the action author has provided a major version ref, use that instead
(e.g., ). Dependabot will automatically close its PR once the workflow has been updated.
