Pull Request Overview

Adds documentation for a new cooldown option in the Dependabot configuration reference, and standardizes bullet syntax.

  • Switched hyphen bullets to asterisks for consistency
  • Introduced a comprehensive cooldown section with overview, parameters table, examples, and notes

content/code-security/dependabot/working-with-dependabot/dependabot-options-reference.md

### **How Cooldown Works**

* When Dependabot runs updates as per defined schedule, it checks the **cooldown settings** to determine if new release for dependency is still within its cooldown period.

Use the {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} variable instead of hardcoded “Dependabot” to ensure consistency with existing product name variables.
