ci: add minimumReleaseAge to Renovate config (#3072)

This change introduces a 1-day delay for all npm dependency updates to mitigate the risk of dependency chain attacks. This provides a window to detect and react to malicious publications.

The cross-repo Angular dependencies are excluded from this rule as they are trusted sources.
