What

Removes the target-branch: "develop" override from both Dependabot update groups (github-actions and pip) so Dependabot opens PRs against the repository default branch (main).

Why

The target-branch: "develop" was carried over from the fork's earlier model where develop was the sole trunk. Under the consolidated upstream model, main is the primary trunk and develop is an optional beta/prerelease branch. Dependabot reads its config from the default branch regardless, and security updates always target the default branch, so pointing version updates at an optional branch created an inconsistent split plus a dependency on a branch that may not always exist.

Resolves the Copilot review note about the missing develop branch on PR HA-AndersenEV#38.

Drop target-branch: develop from both update groups so Dependabot opens
PRs against the default branch (main). The develop override was carried
over from the fork's develop-as-trunk model; upstream treats main as the
primary trunk and develop as an optional beta branch.
