Marc-André Bombeck c5fc707e59 ci: scope the dependabot auto-merge write token to its job
The workflow granted contents: write and pull-requests: write at the top
level, so every step in the run held them, including the checkout and
the dependency install that execute code from the pull request being
merged. Scorecard flags the shape, and the shape is the problem: a
compromised transitive in a Dependabot branch would run with a token
that can write to the repository.

The workflow default is contents: read now, and the two write scopes sit
on the auto-merge job, which is the only job there is and the only place
they are spent. gh pr merge --auto needs contents: write to enable
merge-on-green and pull-requests: write to act on the pull request; the
major-bump comment needs pull-requests: write. The metadata fetch and
the test run need neither. Nothing about which updates merge
automatically changes.

# Auto-merge is gated on the Dependabot-declared update type:
# patch and minor bumps merge once required checks pass; major
# bumps get a comment and wait for the maintainer. A major bump
# routinely carries breaking changes the unit suite alone cannot
# vouch for.
