Keep major GitHub Actions updates out of the group - #185

The Actions group had no update-types restriction, so a major landed inside the group PR instead of arriving on its own. The Maven group already excludes majors for the same reason.

#182 grouped the Actions updates but did not restrict that group to minor and patch the way it restricted the Maven group. A major therefore lands inside the group PR instead of arriving on its own:
actions/setup-java5.7 to 6.0.1 closed #179 and reappeared inside #184 within hours of #182 merging.That was not the intent. A major action bump is the one worth looking at alone, which is why the Maven group already carries
update-types: ["minor", "patch"].My comment on #182 said majors would stay separate. True for Maven, not true for Actions. Fixing the config rather than the sentence.
Summary by cubic
Excludes major GitHub Actions updates from the grouped dependabot PR so they arrive on their own instead of being bundled with minor and patch updates. The Maven group already behaved this way.
Written for commit b8d1381. Summary will update on new commits.
