Subject: [PATCH] Instruct Dependabot to ignore Qiskit 2.4

Mypy currently fails when type-checking code against the latest Qiskit
release (2.4.0; see #485 and python/mypy#21263).

While #485 added an upperbound `qiskit<2.4` to `requirements-dev.txt`,
it did not configure Dependabot to respect this limit, causing PR
reverts (see commit bd9c491 in #486).

This commit adds the necessary configuration to prevent those updates.
