ci: weekly Dependabot updates for Cargo and GitHub Actions, tested by CI

Dependabot opens one grouped pull request a week per ecosystem against
develop: compatible Cargo updates together (a breaking release on its
own) and every action together, keeping the SHA pins and their version
comments. The SolidCraft pins, the truck and egui-wgpu patches taken
from that commit and craft-ui's rev move by hand; egui and eframe take
patch releases only, since their line follows SolidCraft's.

CI skips same-repo pull requests, so Dependabot's would merge untested:
the gate, the oracle and the advisories now also run on pull requests
opened by dependabot[bot]. The heavy job stays off pull requests.

Closes #120
