Dependabot now supports the `julia` package ecosystem, so use it to keep the `[compat]` entries of `Project.toml` and `docs/Project.toml` up to date instead of the CompatHelper workflow. Updates are grouped into a single PR, mirroring the setup in Distributions.jl. Add a `[workspace]` section listing `docs` so that Pkg (on Julia 1.12+) and Dependabot resolve the package and the docs environment together. Dependabot then only needs the root directory. Older Julia versions ignore the section.

With the docs workspace, the test environment on Julia 1.12+ resolves InlineStrings 2, which WeakRefStrings 1.4 does not allow. The resolver then falls back to WeakRefStrings 1.3, which uses the removed `Base.memhash_seed` and errors on current Julia. Allow WeakRefStrings 2 and exclude the releases before 1.4.

Dependabot now supports the
juliapackage ecosystem, so this replaces the CompatHelper workflow with a Dependabot entry, the same way as was done in JuliaStats/Distributions.jl#2109..github/workflows/CompatHelper.yml.juliaentry to.github/dependabot.yml(daily, with all Julia package updates grouped into a single PR). The existinggithub-actionsentry is unchanged.[workspace]section withprojects = ["docs"]toProject.toml, so that Pkg (on Julia 1.12+) and Dependabot resolve the package and the docs environment together. Dependabot then only needs the root directory. Older Julia versions ignore the section, so the docs workflow (Julia 1.8) is unaffected.The open CompatHelper PR #340 can be closed once this is merged.
