ci: Replace Dependabot with Renovatebot

[alessfg]

Proposed changes

This PR enables Renovatebot for managing dependency updates on this repo and only on this repo. When using this repo as a template, a script is run that removes the Renovatebot config and enables Dependabot. This is done to account for the fact that Dependabot works out of the box on GitHub, and Renovatebot requires some level of manual configuration to enable. By defaulting to Dependabot, we always ensure there will be some level of dependency management in place.

The 'github-actions' key is not a valid Renovate configuration option. This should be nested within 'packageRules' as a manager-specific rule or moved to the root level as separate configuration options.

The regex pattern '!/^0/' is invalid syntax for Renovate's matchCurrentVersion. It should use standard regex format without the negation prefix, such as '^[1-9]' to match versions not starting with 0.

Suggested change

	"matchCurrentVersion": "!/^0/"
	"matchCurrentVersion": "^[1-9]"

LGTM but did not run the script locally (commands are simple enough to not be warranted)
