Fix failing dependency updates workflow - #2067

Conversation
Configure the setup action to install Python 3.11 before running the dependency update command. The justfile defaults to python3.11, so the workflow [failed](https://github.com/opensafely/documentation/actions/runs/35734406042/job/107089817671) with "python3.11: command not found" before it could update any dependencies. Also align the workflow with [reports](https://github.com/opensafely-core/reports/blob/main/.github/workflows/update-dependencies.yml) by using the latest Ubuntu runner and limiting the GitHub App token to contents and pull-request write permissions.
