chore: disable Renovate dependencies type update

[MikeMcC399]

Situation

• Anytime Renovate creates a PR to update one of the packages in the dependencies section of package.json, it does not rebuild the app. An attempt was made to solve this issue, originally described in Renovate fails to update dependencies correctly #1252 through PR chore: add Renovate rebuild action workflow #1577. This created the workflow rebuild-dist.yml, however this solution does not retrigger CI workflows, so it leaves any such PR in an untested state.

These are the current dependencies:

github-action/package.json

Lines 41 to 54 in 945856d

	"dependencies": {
	"@actions/cache": "5.0.1",
	"@actions/core": "2.0.1",
	"@actions/exec": "2.0.0",
	"@actions/io": "2.0.0",
	"@octokit/core": "7.0.6",
	"argument-vector": "1.0.2",
	"debug": "4.4.0",
	"find-yarn-workspace-root": "2.0.0",
	"got": "11.8.6",
	"hasha": "5.2.2",
	"quote": "0.4.0",
	"supports-color": "9.3.1"
	},

Change

Since Renovate cannot complete all steps necessary to correctly update the action with updated dependencies, add packageRules to renovate.json to ignore dependencies, using matchDepTypes.

Renovate will then only update devDependencies, which can be handled cleanly.

Updates to dependencies will then be handled manually without having to manually reject Renovate's incomplete PRs.

The workflow rebuild-dist.yml, which only came into play for dependencies PRs from Renovate, becomes obsolete and is removed.

I'm hoping this should make it more manageable, and sorry for the false start with the previous PR #1577. I wasn't able to test it properly at the time because it needed a Renovate trigger.

In any case most of the dependencies are sourced from GitHub Actions and they need special manual attention, like right now as I'm monitoring the (slow) progress of GitHub migrating their Actions to node24.
