What?

Adds a default cooldown of 7 days for GitHub Action updates via Dependabot.

Why?

Ensure Dependabot doesn't prompt us to update a package that was updated recently, leading to a higher risk for exploits.

See WordPress/performance#2277 for more details.

How?

Adds a cooldown config option for GitHub Action updates. Note we already have a cooldown option set for composer and npm updates
