ci(.github): pin actions to commit-hash; set permissions at job level

Also swap out unsafe automerge for fastify/github-action-merge-dependabot.

After what has been happening with tj-actions/changed-files over the past week this is probably a sensible idea.

See related blog post by rafaelgss about pinning to the commit-hash.
