Possible github updates

[paulf81]

Depending on @misi9170 's experience with FLORIS want log potential github improvements we can make to Hercules:

• Protecting the main branch (PR to come on FLORIS)
• Adding dependabot
  • First added: Add dependabot dependent version updates floris#1064
  • Improved: Update package dependences (dependabot) floris#1172

Just to clarify, the protection of the main branch is not a PR (just adding a rule in the repository settings). Easy to do though, and I'm happy to set it up.

Thanks! I should have made the above check boxes since we won't have a pr to point to, fixing...
