Currently there is a Renovate Bot rule grouping all minor and patch dependency updates in a single pull request. However, packages that follow SemVer are allowed to make breaking changes in any 0.x version. This led to a situation where the PR to bump the group all non-major dependencies has a red pipeline (#1052) which cannot be merged since many months.

This PR attempts to fix the problem by excluding version 0.x from the all non-major dependencies group (as documented in https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/#matchupdatetypes). These updates will instead be handled in a dedicated PR. This should prevent benign minor and patch upgrades from being blocked as well as allow us to easily identify the dependency bumps that introduce breaking changes.


Note: the preset group:allNonMajor is removed since we are not using it anymore, as we override it.

Just for clarity, why are we focusing exactly on version 0.x and not on any minor(as in https://semver.org/) as 1.x or y.x ?

Because packages on version 0.x are allowed to make breaking changes on patch upgrades, but y.x (where y > 0) are not. With this change the update all non-major dependencies PR will only upgrade libraries that do not bring breaking changes, thus we will be able to merge it easily.

Got it, I am not sure if this assumption is true to all packages but it's definitely close to reality, so let's sort them out this way. Thanks a lot for the contribution!

Since k8gb-io#1610 was merged the number of PRs created by renovate increased, as bumps of libraries on version 0.x are handled in a dedicated PR.
The maximum number of concurrent PRs is 5 which results in rate-limiting: k8gb-io#1048. The proposal is to increase it to 15 so that we can see and tackle the PRs containing potential breaking changes.

In addition, the `update all non-major dependencies` group should very rarely contain breaking changes (k8gb-io#1052) so I proposal to turn on automerge (if the pipeline is green ofc). This should save the maintainers some precious minutes.
