Adopt the Dependabot changelog 'draft trick'#4148

Applies the consumer-side changes from logging-parent PR #476: * `build.yaml` and `codeql-analysis.yaml` now subscribe to the `ready_for_review` pull request type, so required checks re-run when a Dependabot PR is taken out of draft. * `process-dependabot.yaml` drops the `RECURSIVE_TOKEN` PAT secret, which is no longer needed now that the reusable workflow parks the PR in draft mode instead of pushing with a privileged token.

Applies the consumer-side changes from apache/logging-parent#476 so this repository works with the new Dependabot changelog "draft trick".
Pushes made with
GITHUB_TOKENdo not retrigger workflows (GitHub anti-recursion rule), so the changelog commit cannot re-run the required checks on its own. Instead of relying on a privileged PAT, the reusable workflow now appends the changelog commit and parks the PR in draft mode; a maintainer clicks Ready for review and enables Auto-merge to complete the merge.Changes
