Mark commits as autogenerated and don't treat those as blocker/edits

Tell us more.

When somebody makes changes on a Renovate MR, Renovate will not make any further updates, rebases, ... for that MR and adds a comment Renovate will not automatically rebase this MR, because it does not recognize the last commit author and assumes somebody else may have edited the PR..

I have a Github/Gitea action that automatically updates my CHANGELOG.md with information about the updated dependency. This adds a commit to every Renovate MR and blocks them for further updates.

It would be nice to be able to somehow mark commits (maybe by including a marker like [renovate ignore]) so that Renovate won't consider these commits as blockers.

That way, when there is another update for a dependency, a merge conflict, a dependency would be added to a grouped MR, renovate wants to rebase/recreate a PR and so on, everything will work as expected without blockers, since these commits will just be generated again.
