What does this PR do?

This will use dependabot to check for updates against any github action which this project uses.

https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/working-with-dependabot/keeping-your-actions-up-to-date-with-dependabot

I noticed that there were a out of date. For instance, the stale action is currently on major release v6 and this project is still using version 1.

Description of the Change

A pull request with version bumps will be submitted on a monthly basis for any github action which this project uses.

Alternate Designs

Could use renovate for another automated solution or one could manually check for updates on a scheduled basis. Depedanbot is sort-of built into GitHub as an automated solution making it easier to implement in my opinion.

Possible Drawbacks

More pull requests to look at which can be annoying. I tried to reduce that as much as possible by making the interval as monthly instead of something more frequent such as daily.

Verification Process

There are a couple of actions which are currently out of date, so as soon as this is merged, there should be a couple of pull requests generated.
