.github: scan Go modules for known vulnerabilities

Add govulncheck CI and Dependabot for the two Go modules, src/webui
and src/netbrowse, so vendored dependencies don't quietly accumulate
CVEs between manual updates.

The workflow reports every finding in the run summary but only fails
on vulnerabilities our code actually calls in a dependency.  Called
stdlib vulnerabilities are surfaced too, but they're fixed by bumping
the Buildroot host Go rather than a module's go.mod, so they don't
gate the build.

Dependabot ignores openconfig/goyang: it's pinned to our kernelkit
fork via a replace directive and stepped by hand.

# fixed by bumping the Buildroot host Go, not this module's
