Removes the daily Dependabot auto-retry caller workflow.
The workflow can never succeed: it POSTs to a non-existent
.../dependabot/alerts/{n}/rerunREST route (returns 404 "Not Found" for every alert). GitHub exposes no public REST/GraphQL endpoint to retry a Dependabot security update — the "Try Again" button is a web-UI-only action backed by a cookie+CSRF web endpoint that no App/PAT/GITHUB_TOKEN can authenticate to. Dismiss/reopen via the alerts API does not trigger a PR either (confirmed by GitHub: reopening "will not affect Dependabot pull requests or the GraphQL API").The reusable workflow it calls is being removed in aws-geospatial/github-workflows-for-amazon-location.
