chore(dependabot): raise semver-patch cooldown to 5 days

Patch is the only update class that auto-merges with no human
involved, yet carried the shortest cooldown (1 day, a third of
GitHub's 3-day default). Soak time should scale with how little
scrutiny a bump receives, not with how breaking semver claims it is.

Costs nothing in security terms: cooldown never applies to Dependabot
security updates, which still fire immediately.

Propagated from simplify9/.github (dependabot-templates).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary

  • Updated .github/dependabot.yml.
  • Increased the semver-patch cooldown for NuGet and GitHub Actions from 1 day to 5 days.
  • Security updates remain unaffected and continue immediately.
  • Other cooldown settings remain unchanged.

Risk: risk:low

Security-sensitive areas: Dependabot update timing changed. Security update behavior did not change.

Test coverage impact: No runtime or test code changed. Configuration review is sufficient.

Operational concerns: Patch updates may arrive up to four days later. Rollback requires reverting the cooldown values in .github/dependabot.yml. No migration or deployment changes are required.

Walkthrough

The Dependabot configuration changes the patch update cooldown from one day to five days for NuGet and GitHub Actions.
