Add a Dependabot configuration that checks once a week if the GitHub Actions are still using the latest version. If not, it opens a PR to update them.

It will open few PRs, since only major versions are specified (like v3), so only on a major release (like v4) it will update and open a PR. This way it helps actively keep GitHub Actions workflows up to date and secure, while minimizing maintenance burden.

@maartenbreddels this is a crucial piece of infrastructure to keep this repo up to date. Could you review it, and if approved, merge it?

@maartenbreddels I would highly recommend merging this PR before the next release, to make sure all GitHub actions are up to date.
