Add a pre-commit autoupdate cron job
This will auto-generate PRs to update our pre-commit hooks.
On my fork, it auto-generated this PR:
- https://github.com/AllSeeingEyeTolledEweSew/libtorrent/pull/48
I believe the scheduled workflow will only run once this change is merged to RC_2_0.

what does it mean to update a "pre commit hook"? is it about modifying the pre commit config to specify new version numbers?
Yes. It's analogous to updating pinned versions of github actions, e.g. actions/setup-python@v3 to actions/setup-python@v4.
In practice the most common side effect of these updates is new complaints from mypy, where there was a legitimate typing error in our code but mypy only notices it on a version bump.
@arvidn FYI: libtorrent's pre-commit config currently breaks if run with python 3.7+. Currently the CI job uses python 3.6 which happens to work, but that version is EOL and should be bumped.
We need a pre-commit autoupdate run to fix it. Or merge this PR, and it will automatically generate PRs with pre-commit autoupdate.
IMO, this kind of thing is exactly the reason to auto-update dependencies, even for CI. It seems much better to make incremental updates as parts of the environment change over time, rather than try to update a bunch of stuff at once when something breaks.
