This partially reverts #12898.

Dependabot does now support Directory.Packages.props, but still seems
to require a project file to be present:

Pull request overview

Restores a minimal .csproj under eng/dependabot/ so Dependabot’s NuGet updater discovers at least one project file and proceeds to update versions in eng/dependabot/Directory.Packages.props.

Changes:

  • Add a stub eng/dependabot/dependabot.csproj project file required for Dependabot discovery.

Interesting, they must have changed this recently. It worked without a project file in efcore a while ago. Doesn't matter so approved.
