What's this PR do?
Adds an extra step to our scheduled scrape workflow (named "cron") that will automatically create a dummy commit in the repo if the last commit to the repo was 50 days ago. See PR 1058 in city-scrapers for more details.
[Note: This PR builds off https://github.com//pull/67, which should be reviewed first]
Why are we doing this?
We recently discovered that workflows in a number of our city-scraper repos were disabled by Github because there had been no commits in 60 days. Adding this extra step to our workflow using a third party Github action called keepalive-workflow should prevent that.
Steps to manually test
