Support replacement PRs on all managers

[HonkingGoose]

What would you like Renovate to be able to do?

Right now we only raise replacement PRs for npm dependencies.

I think we want to support all managers eventually.
This is a big issue to track support for all managers:

• bazel
• git-submodules
• gomod
• gradle
• hermit
• homebrew
• maven
• regex

Existing issues:

• Replacing deprecated dependencies for docker datasource only replace version #12623
• Replacement PR body text confusion if repo has custom rules #12625
• Replacement PRs are only implemented for npm right now #12626
• feat: autoreplace support for replacements #13211

Once we support all managers, we should update the readme.md in this repository, and the src/index.md file in the docs repository. Both have a sentence that mentions this issue (#14149).

If you have any ideas on how this should be implemented, please tell us here.

Nope.

Is this a feature you are interested in implementing yourself?

No

We should link the already existing manager specific issues .

#13211 will cover ~75% of managers. I need to get back on that PR

Would it be possible to expand this logic with a "replace to none" / "remove"

Maybe? But not with the current set of changes that are in PR right now

I've updated the list in the issue body to reflect the currently supported managers.
