What this PR does / why we need it:
Workflows triggered by Dependabot do not have access to regular Actions secrets, but do have access to dedicated Dependabot secrets. Reference: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/working-with-dependabot/automating-dependabot-with-github-actions#accessing-secrets
The necessary secrets to run PR workflows have been copied over to Dependabot secrets for the repo.
Added a new "dependabot" job to the "build-test" workflow to auto approve and merge successful Dependabot PRs.
