Update dependencies and workflows for security and features

This commit updates several dependency versions in requirements and pre-commit config files, adds new package schedules to dependabot.yml, pins GitHub Actions to specific commit SHAs for improved security, and streamlines Python dependency installation in CI workflows. Also adds tomli-w to requirements for TOML file syncing and updates testing/cucumber dependencies for compatibility.
