Adds a minor-and-patch group to every configured ecosystem so minor and patch
bumps arrive as a single pull request per ecosystem.

Major updates deliberately stay outside the group: dependabot/fetch-metadata
reports the highest semver change in a grouped PR, so a group containing a major
would report version-update:semver-major and the auto-merge workflow would hold
the whole group back. With majors excluded, grouped PRs report minor (or patch)
and auto-merge normally.

Security updates are not grouped (applies-to: version-updates), so they still
arrive immediately as individual PRs.

Trade-off: one broken dependency blocks the whole group. If that becomes a
nuisance, split the group (for example by dependency-type) or drop grouping for
that ecosystem.

Add a minor-and-patch group to every configured ecosystem so those bumps
arrive as a single pull request per ecosystem. Major updates deliberately
stay outside the group: dependabot/fetch-metadata reports the highest
semver change, so they still report version-update:semver-major and the
auto-merge workflow holds them back for review.
