Subject: [PATCH] chore: add Dependabot configuration

Add monthly, grouped Dependabot updates for Gradle dependencies and
GitHub Actions, so version bumps arrive as a single reviewable PR per
ecosystem instead of surfacing later as security alerts.

Routine version updates are limited to minor and patch, since the
library targets Java 8 and major bumps of the test dependencies cannot
merge. Security updates are grouped separately without that limit, so a
fix released only in a major version still reaches us.

Commit prefixes are set to chore and ci so the generated PR titles pass
the semantic pull request title lint.
