📦：title dependency updates the way we do

[DerekNonGeneric]

Requested by DerekNonGeneric

Before: Renovate opened pull requests titled build(deps-dev): bump all and chore(deps): lock file maintenance, and they landed on main in that Conventional Commits style.

After: they read 📦：bump cspell to v10.3.3 and 📦：lock file maintenance, the organization's own format with the packages category first and a lowercase subject. Both pass validateCommitMessage.

How: .renovaterc.json5 drops semantic commits, the preset that set their type, and the two per-dependency-type prefixes (their labels stay), and sets the commit message template to start with 📦：. The template runs the action through Renovate's lowercase helper, because its presets capitalize it (Lock file maintenance, Pin, Roll back, Replace); the package name keeps its case. Renovate marks editing that template as deprecated, but it is the only option that can put the emoji flush against the rest for every kind of update. renovate-config-validator 44.115.10 accepts the file with that one deprecation warning.

Fixes #184

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Automated dependency update commits now use an emoji-prefixed message format, with the update action in lowercase and the dependency topic’s capitalization preserved.
  • Existing labels for production and development dependency updates remain unchanged.
  • Semantic commit formatting is no longer used for automated dependency updates. These changes affect commit messages and labeling only; they do not change application functionality.
