Follow-on to #895. Takes a more conservative approach to Dependabot updates by grouping bumps according to their semver impact rather than lumping everything together.
#912 is the motivating example. It's a single PR carrying three major version bumps (
actions/checkoutfrom v4 to v7,actions/github-scriptfrom v7 to v9, andsoftprops/action-gh-releasefrom v2 to v3) alongside ordinary minor/patch bumps. Mixing the two means the easy updates cannot be merged without also signing off on the major ones.Sometimes major version bumps might fail because they also need to be accompanied by minor/patch version bumps for other dependencies. But that's not a big deal. Manual intervention in such cases is always possible. (Of course, it's always possible that minor/patch bumps make the build go red and need manual intervention, too, but in theory that should be less likely.)
We also do the same here with the pip.
