Recommend Renovate as an alternative to dependabot

[paddyroddy]

I think it should be viable to have Renovate or dependabot to manage updates. If you aren't aware it's a highly configurable dependency manager https://docs.renovatebot.com.

I'd be fine to mention it as well as update the checks to detect it, but am not familiar enough with it to do so yet. Pointers/suggestions welcome.

I have a short talk on it, https://paddyroddy.github.io/talks/renovate-automating-dependency-management. Here are some example parent configs I maintain: https://github.com/paddyroddy/.github/blob/main/renovate/default-config.json5, https://github.com/UCL-ARC/.github/blob/main/renovate/default-config.json. It's just very powerful, and can debug easily with https://developer.mend.io. I've contributed too, and the maintainers are helpful/response. I'm not affiliated by the way.
