* Add Dependabot automation for minor/patch updates

- Updated dependabot.yml with auto-merge-minor-and-patch groups for both maven and github-actions ecosystems
- Created dependabot-auto-approve.yml workflow to automatically approve minor and patch updates
- Created dependabot-auto-merge.yml workflow to automatically merge approved minor and patch PRs
- Extracted all external dependencies from pom files and added them to the configuration in alphabetical order
