ci(dependabot): change to monthly interval (#1991)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This PR changes the interval for dependabot updates to monthly.

Right now, the interval is usually set to daily, which results in
(almost) daily notifications for Exercism maintainers, and frequent
Docker updates to all tooling repos.

To reduce the maintenance burden, we are lowering the frequency to
monthly. Due to Exercism's setup, it is unlikely that dependabot issues
in our repositories need to be handled with any urgency, so we consider
this to be a wise tradeoff.

For maintained track repos, maintainers can choose to close this PR
unmerged. But for tooling repos and unmaintained tracks, we are
requiring it to be merged.

Thanks!
