Description
### Current Behavior
Dependency-Track 4.8.2 was released in April 2023 using SPDX License List v3.11, which was already 17 months old at that time and, more importantly 9 versions out of date (v3.20 was released in February 2023).
This illustrates that we have important data resources that are not updated automatically and this can cause problems for users.
### Proposed Behavior
Set up a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow to create PRs for updating:
* SPDX License List
* CWE Dictionaries
...when new versions are released.
Having a once per week cadence seems appropriate (and can be adjusted later if need be).
