Smart grouping for commits from renovate (e.g. branch automerge mode) #185

Description

@pat-s

Currently, skipCommitsWithoutPullRequest: true is the default and hence skips all commits which haven't been merged through a PR.
This will skip all commits when using the branchautomerge setting in renovate.
While one can skipCommitsWithoutPullRequest: false, all of these commits won't have a label and will be automatically put into the "Misc" category.

After #182, I'd suggest to

  • group all renovate updates by default into the "Dependency" category
  • find a way correctly group renovate commits through branch automerge (should be doable through the commit title pattern)
  • Add an option to not ignore branch-automerge commits by default, e.g. something like AlwaysIncludeRenovateCommits: true. This would still skip "normal" commits but by default include branch-automerge renovate commits

(All of the above might not only apply to renovate but also to other dep automation tools like GHs dependency bot).
