Remove unused GitHub files from backport branches #158399

Description

@hugovk

We have a number of GitHub (and similar) files which are only needed in the default main branch.

I suggest we remove them from the backport branches, so it's clear they no longer need to be updated there.

These files only have effect in main:

.github/dependabot.yml
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/
.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
.github/workflows/add-issue-header.yml
.github/workflows/new-bugs-announce-notifier.yml
.github/workflows/project-updater.yml
.github/workflows/stale.yml

(Note #158013 will remove add-issue-header.yml from main.)

Only the main copies of these show up in special places in the GitHub UI, but they can stay as documentation in the other branches:

.github/CONTRIBUTING.rst
.github/SECURITY.md
