Dependabot now supports the Julia ecosystem, so the compat entries in Project.toml and docs/Project.toml can be kept up to date by the same tool that already updates the GitHub Actions. The daily schedule matches the one CompatHelper was running on.

With docs listed in the workspace of the root Project.toml, the docs project is resolved together with the package, so Dependabot only needs to be pointed at the root directory.

Dependabot now supports the Julia ecosystem, so this removes the CompatHelper workflow and lets Dependabot maintain the
[compat]entries instead. The repository already uses Dependabot for the GitHub Actions, so this leaves a single tool handling all dependency updates.juliaentry to.github/dependabot.ymlcovering/and/docs..github/workflows/CompatHelper.yml.The schedule is daily to match what CompatHelper was running on. I'm happy to change it to weekly if we prefer fewer PRs.
CompatHelper used
DOCUMENTER_KEYto make its PRs trigger CI. PRs from Dependabot trigger CI on their own, so no secret is needed.TagBot.ymlstill uses the key, so it has to stay.
