chore(dependabot): raise semver-patch cooldown to 5 days

Patch is the only update class that auto-merges with no human
involved, yet carried the shortest cooldown (1 day, a third of
GitHub's 3-day default). Soak time should scale with how little
scrutiny a bump receives, not with how breaking semver claims it is.

Costs nothing in security terms: cooldown never applies to Dependabot
security updates, which still fire immediately.

Propagated from simplify9/.github (dependabot-templates).
