Dependabot Version Updates Support devcontainers

If you use devcontainer.json files to define your development containers, you will now be able to use Dependabot version updates to keep your Features up-to-date. Once configured in dependabot.yml, Dependabot will open pull requests on a specified schedule to update the listed Features to latest. This ensures Features are pinned to the latest major version in the associated devcontainer.json file. If a dev container has a lockfile, that file will also be updated. Dependabot security updates for dev containers are not supported at this time.
