Dependabot was opening PRs for major version bumps alongside the minor and patch ones. This restricts it to minor and patch only, so breaking upgrades get taken on deliberately instead of arriving as routine dependency PRs.

allow:
  - dependency-name: "*"
    update-types:
      - "version-update:semver-minor"
      - "version-update:semver-patch"

Allow only semver-minor and semver-patch bumps for every ecosystem so
breaking upgrades get taken on deliberately instead of arriving as
routine dependency PRs.

Tiny note: The description says the allow entry is added to "the bundler and github-actions configs." This repo has no bundler ecosystem, so reading that could be confusing, but almost not worth calling out 😄

Copy-paste snafu! Sorry 😄
