An action referenced by a moving tag can change without any commit on our side, so nobody sees it happen. This adds a weekly, grouped Dependabot config scoped to GitHub Actions only, so an update arrives as a pull request that runs CI and gets read before it lands.

Package dependencies are deliberately not watched here - Dependabot's security alerts already cover those, and watching them would open pull requests for advisories in test-only dependencies that never reach a user of the package.

In junit5-reporter this file has a second job: gradle/actions/setup-gradle is pinned to a commit so a retagged release cannot reach the runner, and a pinned action otherwise never picks up its own security fixes. The pin and this file are one change, not two.
