What

Adding base config for dependabot.yml, which enables automatic PRs for dependency version updates through Dependabot. This base config sets version updates to run on a weekly schedule, groups PRs for version updates, and sets max PRs that Dependabot can create for version updates per package-ecosystem.

Why
