Noticed the actions used in the workflows here are outdated, proposing a Dependabot configuration to update - reference https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/using-githubs-security-features-to-secure-your-use-of-github-actions#keeping-the-actions-in-your-workflows-secure-and-up-to-date

Resolves warnings on workflow runs e.g. https://github.com/kernel/kernel-images/actions/runs/30600123889

Node.js 20 is deprecated. The following actions target Node.js 20 but are being forced to run on Node.js 24: actions/checkout@v4

Suggest enabling https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/working-with-dependabot/about-dependabot-on-github-actions-runners#enabling-or-disabling-for-your-repository as well
