fix: automate tested dependency updates

[patrickleet]

Summary

• Track Crossplane package constraints and runtime chart/image versions with Renovate.
• Loosen upbound.yaml requirements to major-only ranges and group AWS provider-family updates.
• Keep all dependency updates manual because this repository does not have an effective PR e2e suite; major updates remain manual as well.

Validation

• Renovate configuration validation passed across all 42 active Hops configurations.
• Local Renovate extraction found valid package/runtime values and major-only Crossplane ranges.
• git diff --check and YAML/JSON parsing passed across all 42 repositories.
• up project build could not run because the local Docker daemon is stopped.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates Renovate policies, adds annotations for Capsule dependencies, includes renovate.json in pull-request workflow filters, and changes five Upbound dependency constraints to caret ranges.

Changes

Dependency Management

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Renovate policy and scanning configuration renovate.json, .github/workflows/on-pr.yaml	Automerge is disabled for major, minor, and patch updates. AWS provider packages are grouped. Custom regex managers now process caret constraints and annotated runtime dependencies. Ignored paths are configured. Pull requests now trigger when renovate.json changes.
Runtime dependency annotations examples/tenantstacks/*, functions/render/000-state-init.yaml.gotmpl, tests/test-render/main.k	Renovate annotations identify the Capsule Helm chart and capsule-proxy Docker dependency.
Upbound dependency constraints upbound.yaml	Five dependency constraints now use caret ranges for their current major versions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

ghcr.io/hops-ops repository references, leaving those dependencies exclusively
to the manager using the docker datasource while preserving matching for other
