ci: improve CI & tests (#4)

* ci: improve CI & tests

* chore: Switch to lurk-lab fork of abomonation_derive

- Updated the repository source for the `abomonation_derive` dependency in the Cargo.toml file
- Switched from `winston-h-zhang` repository to `lurk-lab` for more updated and maintained versions

* chore: add dependabot config
