Conflict resolution updates can be a bit noisy

I'm updating a lot of stuff in one go, so this might be irrelevant for most users, but I find the conflict resolution comment to be unnecessarily noisy. Github already warns me that there are conflicts and won't let me merge, and dependabot is usually only a couple of minutes behind, so I'm not sure I really need a comment (lovely and polite though it is). I'm not in a "normal use" mode yet though, more of a "huge numbers of updates" mode, so this might not be a problem normally. Just raising in case others feel the same really. Perhaps an option to enable/disable them?

I think we could probably get away without that comment - we mention it in the PR description anyway. I'll disable it and keep track of whether people are doing the rebases manually when they could just be waiting for Dependabot.

Resolved! We'll now only comment in for the case where you re-open an old Dependabot pull request that's fallen behind master (which is unlikely to happen in bulk, so shouldn't be noisy).

If we see a lot of people doing rebases themselves manually I'll have another look. One option would be for us to edit the PR description during updating, which avoids sending an email.
