This creates automation to keep protoc and googleapis up to date.
It configures dependabot to watch homebrew's build of protoc (via ghcr.io containers) to be notified of a new version being published (since that repo doesn't publish releases into any package manager).
The dependabot PR to bump the container reference will have a label added, which triggers a separate workflow to amend the PR with the correct changes to
protoc-builder/versions.mk
.In addition, there's a monthly cron workflow that will fetch the latest commit hash from the https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis repo and update
protoc-builder/versions.mk
with it. This upstream repo doesn't use tags or cut releases at all.
