This sets up Dependabot to manage version updates for HashiCorp-owned GitHub Actions; all other (third-party) version updates are already handled by HashiCorp's internal TSCCR tooling. TSCCR does not/cannot manage HashiCorp-owned Actions versioning which is why we need to bring in Dependabot to handle this component; see this memo (internal HashiCorp link) for details.
This PR also pins all HashiCorp-owned Actions used in this repo to using SHA hashes which is considered a security best-practice these days. This will force Dependabot to continue with this convention, and it is smart enough to update the comment on each of these lines to let us know which is the actual version that's being used.
