This applies the new [cooldown option](https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/working-with-dependabot/dependabot-options-reference#cooldown-) for dependabot. It will hold updates until after they have been out for at least a week. This will allow a reasonable time for packages to exist and if any issues exist in the supply chain, get caught before the updates come through. No QA Needed Refs: dequelabs/axe-api-team#598
