this PR adds dependabot for github actions only.

Could also be extended to include the projects deps, but given this a binary application dependabot can be quite noisy, so it would need some discussion about how much to clamp it down. For example configure it to run once a month, or something

From what I understand, this configuration will check daily and open a PR if a newer version for an action specified in https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/blob/master/.github/workflows/CI.yml is available (e.g. we use actions/checkout@v3, it will open a PR to bump the version if actions/checkout@v4 becomes available.)

I'm not sure how necessary this is, but I don't see a QA reason to block it. The only concern I can think of would be using up Actions minutes, but Dependabot itself is free, so the only additional billable usage would be running actions on the PRs being opened. It's up to engineering if it's useful/appropriate to keep the actions up-to-date.
