CI workflows maintenance

[TomerFi]

What did you have in mind?

Our CI workflows require some maintenance. We're seeing warnings in our various workflow runs about old Action versions:

The following actions uses Node.js version which is deprecated and will be forced to run on node20: actions/checkout@v3, zcong1993/[email protected], actions/setup-python@v4, actions/cache@v3, codecov/codecov-action@v3. For more info: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-03-07-github-actions-all-actions-will-run-on-node20-instead-of-node16-by-default/

This is a side-effect of removing dependabot more than a year ago. See b2e5681.

We also noticed that the various workflows are slower, and caches are invalidated frequently. This is a side effect of having poetry update the dependencies on installation (--no-update flag available) and not using the latest versions.

We should consider reintroducing dependabot to this project.
