Change Request: Renovate bot needs an explicit exception in the GitHub branch protection rules to perform auto-merge

[lumirlumir]

What problem do you want to solve?

This PR follows up on #49.

In eslint/code-explorer#384 I expected Renovate's auto-merge to run, but it's blocked by the status "Review required: at least one approving review is required from reviewers with write access."

This blocks auto-merge and ultimately requires a personal review before it can be merged.

It seems this happens because the Renovate bot doesn't have an exception to the GitHub branch protection rule.

What do you think is the correct solution?

Adds an exception to the GitHub branch protection rules to allow the Renovate bot to auto-merge.

This requires adjusting the repository settings, so it would be helpful if someone with the necessary permissions could take a look.
