Value Prop

This feature allows Dependabot users to optionally configure a delay for opening a Dependabot PR for a newly updated dependency until a certain amount of time has passed.

Expected Outcome

The cooldown feature helps teams improve security and reduce noise from frequent dependency updates by delaying Dependabot PRs for a configurable period, allowing time for patch releases and stabilizing updates without disrupting project workflows.
