Remove unused Dependabot configuration - #520

Conversation
Dependabot has not opened a PR here since 2024-01-09. Its config targets five directories under `/src/.template.base/`, a path that no longer exists — `src/` now holds `mudblazor/`, `mudblazor-wasm/`, and the packaging project. The config has been aimed at nothing since the repo was restructured, and failed silently rather than erroring. Rather than repoint it, remove it. The template projects deliberately float their package versions (`9.*`, `10.*`, `4.*`, `*`) so that projects created with `dotnet new` resolve the newest matching release, which leaves almost nothing for a bot to bump. Dependency updates here will be handled manually. Removing the config means the repo no longer advertises automated dependency management it does not actually have. Also deletes `mudblazor-auto-merge.yml`, which existed solely to auto-merge Dependabot PRs. It ran on `pull_request_target` and required a `BOT_AUTO_MERGE` PAT; with Dependabot gone it has nothing to act on. The `BOT_AUTO_MERGE` secret can be revoked once this merges.

Dependabot here is dead, and has been for over two years.
.github/dependabot.ymltargets five directories under/src/.template.base/. That path no longer exists —src/now containsmudblazor/,mudblazor-wasm/, and the packaging project. The config has been aimed at nothing since the repo was restructured, and it failed silently rather than erroring.The obvious fix would be repointing it at the current layout, but that isn't worth doing here. Every package reference in the template projects deliberately floats:
MudBlazor9.*Microsoft.AspNetCore.*,Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.*10.*Extensions.MudBlazor.StaticInput4.*Microsoft.TemplateEngine.Tasks*That is the right design for a template repo — projects created with
dotnet newresolve the newest matching release without the templates churning. It also means there is almost nothing for a bot to bump. The only thing a bot would meaningfully surface is a new major falling outside an existing range (9.*→10.*), and that is a deliberate template decision, not a mechanical update.So the config is removed rather than repaired. The repo stops advertising automated dependency management it doesn't actually have.
