[release-v1.17] Grouping multiple Dependabot PRs

[creydr]

Grouping of dependabot PRs seems to be broken ATM. Therefor grouping them together to avoid multiple required rebases on different PRs.

Includes the following changes:

• [release-v1.17][gomod]: Bump github.com/google/go-cmp from 0.6.0 to 0.7.0 #706
• [release-v1.17][gomod]: Bump the patch group across 1 directory with 4 updates #708
• [release-v1.17][gomod]: Bump google.golang.org/protobuf from 1.36.5 to 1.36.9 #731
