Replaces the saadmk11/github-actions-version-updater approach with Dependabot's native github-actions ecosystem.

Dependabot now does this natively: it updates action versions, maintains SHA pins and their trailing version comments (which matters since every action in this estate is pinned to a SHA), and — unlike the action — it closes its own PRs when they stop being relevant, so stale update PRs do not accumulate.

It also needs no token: the action required a PAT with workflow scope to push workflow changes, which was one more long-lived credential to hold.

Matches the ecosystem block already present in NosCoreIO/NosCore.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Added weekly automated maintenance checks for GitHub Actions used by the project.
    • This helps keep workflow tooling current with less manual intervention and supports ongoing reliability of automated processes.
