do we have to create this token? currently for this repo we don't have secrets for dependabot
only for actions

Nope, the token is automatically provided to Actions workflows. Dependabot workflows get read-only tokens by default, but the permissions block in the workflow config serve to allow the necessary actions for merging.

Issue #, if available:
Description of changes: This PR adds an Actions workflow to automatically merge dependabot patch-update PRs once they are approved, as described in the GitHub docs.
Because we require code-owner approval to merge PRs, new dependabot PRs still require human interaction before they are merged. This is intentional as it lets us ensure that the automatic merge works as desired. We can later set up another Actions workflow to automatically approve dependabot PRs as well.
