BUILD-10861

Adds cooldown so version-update PRs wait 5 days after release. Internal Sonar coordinates are excluded from cooldown so they are not delayed.

Note: Dependabot security updates ignore cooldown (documented GitHub behavior).

- Version updates: minimum package age via cooldown (default-days: 5).
- Security updates are not affected by cooldown (GitHub behavior).
- exclude: org.sonarsource*, com.sonarsource*, npm @sonarsource/*, actions SonarSource/* as applicable.
- Aligns supply-chain policy with BUILD-10860 (Renovate) intent.

Summary

Adds a 5-day cooldown for Dependabot version updates to reduce churn from rapid patch releases, while exempting internal SonarSource dependencies so they can be updated immediately. Security updates are unaffected and continue to be processed urgently.

What reviewers should know

The change is contained entirely in .github/dependabot.yml (7 lines added). Review the cooldown configuration to verify: (1) the 5-day delay is intentional for your release cadence, and (2) the SonarSource/* exclusion pattern correctly identifies all internal packages that should bypass the cooldown. Note that this only affects version updates; security-fix PRs from Dependabot will still open immediately.
