Configure Dependabot to update all RubyGems #289

  1. Configure Dependabot to update all RubyGems

    By default Dependabot only monitors direct dependencies (those specified
    in the Gemfile) for updates. It appears to use `bundle update
    <dependency>` under the hood, which means that a Dependabot PR to update
    <dependency> can also include updates to sub-dependencies. This makes it
    harder to review because the PR will only include the Changelog of
    <dependency> and not of the sub-dependencies.
    
    My hope is that by configuring Dependabot to monitor direct and indirect
    (sub) dependencies[1] we'll end up with more, smaller/easier to review,
    PRs.
    
    I think the same change[2] has been working reasonably well in Signon
    and thought it was worth bringing gds-sso into line.
