Turns out Dependabot PRs do not have access to secrets with the exception of (read-only) access to the `GITHUB_TOKEN`.
As the coverage test runs and the Coveralls status are required builds, this blocks Dependabot PRs from being merged without overruling the required statuses.
As I'd like to avoid that situation, I'm special casing Dependabot PRs for the token selection.
Unfortunately using a condition like `${{ github.actor != 'dependabot[bot]' || secrets.COVERALLS_TOKEN && secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}` won't work when it involves secrets, so we need to use duplicate steps to get round this.
