Mostly automatic Go dependency updates with GitHub Actions (brandur.org)

I've tried doing this for some of my JS projects to avoid having to deal with constant dependabot alerts and outdated dependencies. However I quickly stopped doing this and just went back to occasional manual updates whenever I need a specific new version of a dependency due to:

- Some dependencies introduce breaking changes in minor version bumps

- Some dependencies are not well tested and are just too buggy on almost every version bump

- My changelog/git history quickly filled up with automated commits making log traversal a pain
