Move docker, requests, pexpect, python-gnupg, Flask, werkzeug, pylev, click, and pyyaml to optional extras in pyproject.toml. The core action now only requires PyGithub, Jinja2, semver, and toml. In repo.py, convert top-level imports of docker, requests, pexpect, and gnupg to lazy imports at their call sites so the action runs without them installed. This reduces the mandatory dependency footprint for the GitHub Action while preserving full functionality when extras are installed (e.g. in Docker builds via --extras all).
GPG is now imported locally inside configure_gpg(), so patch gnupg.GPG directly instead of tagbot.action.repo.GPG.
DEVGUIDE.md and README.md now reflect that non-core deps are optional and require --all-extras / .[all] to install.
