Changes the Dependabot configuration, to ignore JUnit 6 upgrade proposals. JUnit 6 requires Java 17 and most of the projects have a Java 8 baseline.

While it's true that the majority of components are stuck on Java 8 (but not all) for the foreseeable future, I would prefer to (1) keep being updated at to what's new and (2) keep the CI simpler.

I think that adding exclusions to dependabot.yml is a self-documenting way to know what to change, when we finally migrate to Java 17. What do you think?

Not really, it hides the fact that updating to 6.x requires Java 17.
For me, seeing it red reminds me that we are stuck on Java 8 for the foreseeable future (until Java 8 goes down in usage some more). Also, simpler here is better IMO.
