Update dependabot PR auto-closing job to also lock (#22021)

* Update auto-closing job to also lock the PR

* Follow security best practice using env vars instead of string supplanting

* Mark the lock_reason as 'resolved' instead of 'spam' for clarity

* Rethrow the error is locking fails to prevent unnecessary swallowing for this non-blocking workflow
