exclude-paths only applies to version updates, not security updates,
causing noisy PRs for intentionally-pinned vulnerable deps in test
fixtures. Replace with targeted directories + ignore: {dependency-name: "*"}
to suppress both version and security update PRs.
Mirrors guacsec/trustify-da-javascript-client#477.

Per-directory entries with /** globs don't reliably suppress security updates (PRs guacsec#424, guacsec#426, guacsec#427 appeared after guacsec#422 was merged). Since this repo has no production npm/pip/go/gradle/cargo dependencies, add root-level entries with ignore-all + open-pull-requests-limit: 0 as a catch-all for security updates that bypass per-directory matching.

## Summary - Add `/src/test/resources/msc/python` to the `pip` ecosystem exclusion in `.github/dependabot.yml` - This directory was missed in #422, allowing security update PR #425 (mako bump) to be created for an intentionally-pinned test fixture ## Test plan - [ ] Verify no new dependabot PRs are created for `msc/python` after the next scan cycle 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Problem:
exclude-pathsindependabot.ymlonly applies to version updates, not security updates. This caused 8+ noisy PRs from dependabot trying to bump intentionally-pinned vulnerable deps in test fixture manifests undersrc/test/resources/tst_manifests/andsrc/test/resources/msc/.Solution: Add dedicated dependabot entries per ecosystem that target the test fixture directories with
ignore: [{dependency-name: "*"}]to suppress both version and security update PRs (ref). Theignoreoption supports security updates unlikeexclude-paths.Changes
