🩹[Patch]: Configure Dependabot for daily schedule with 7-day cooldown

[MariusStorhaug]

Improves dependency management by configuring Dependabot to check daily while preventing excessive update noise through a 7-day cooldown period. This ensures timely security updates while reducing PR churn.

• Related to PSModule workflow standardization

Dependabot configuration

Changed the update schedule from weekly to daily with a 7-day cooldown period. This provides faster detection of security vulnerabilities while avoiding duplicate PRs for the same dependency within a week.

schedule:
  interval: daily
cooldown:
  default-days: 7

Release configuration cleanup

Removed the deprecated .github/release.yml file as release notes are now managed through the Auto-Release action's automated process.

Action pinning

Pinned all GitHub Actions to specific commit SHAs for improved security and reproducibility:

• actions/checkout@de0fac2e4500dabe0009e67214ff5f5447ce83dd (v6.0.2)
• super-linter/super-linter@d5b0a2ab116623730dd094f15ddc1b6b25bf7b99 (v8.3.2)
• PSModule/Auto-Release@eabd533035e2cb9822160f26f2eda584bd012356 (v1.9.5)

The cooldown configuration option is not a valid Dependabot configuration as of January 2025. This option does not exist in the GitHub Dependabot documentation. If you want to delay updates after a dependency release, you would need to use other mechanisms such as the open-pull-requests-limit option to control the rate of updates, or handle this through your PR review process. The valid Dependabot configuration options are documented at https://docs.github.com/github/administering-a-repository/configuration-options-for-dependency-updates

The PR description states only that Dependabot configuration is being updated, but this PR also includes updates to GitHub Actions versions (actions/checkout@v6.0.2, super-linter/super-linter@v8.3.2, PSModule/Auto-Release@v1.9.5) and deletes the .github/release.yml file. The PR description should be updated to accurately reflect all changes being made, or these additional changes should be in a separate PR if they are unrelated to the Dependabot configuration update.

Changing the Dependabot schedule from weekly to daily will significantly increase the frequency of dependency update PRs. Without the cooldown mechanism (which is not a valid configuration option), this could result in daily PRs for GitHub Actions updates. Consider whether this increased frequency aligns with your maintenance capacity. If you want more frequent checks but controlled PR creation, consider using open-pull-requests-limit to cap the number of concurrent update PRs Dependabot can create.
