[`watchr` v4.0.0][1] changes the way watched directories are
scanned/watched, thus causing a great increase in the consumed CPU and
RAM. This affects the performance of the `docs-watch` and transitively
`serve-and-sync` npm scripts.
(For reference, on my local machine it goes from 0% CPU and 275MB RAM
with v3.0.1 to 50% CPU and 10GB RAM with v4+.)
This commit pins `watchr` to version 3.0.1 (which is the latest version
that does not cause performance issues) and disabled automatic updates
via Renovate.

PR Close#41903
With this change we exclude packages that are not stable yet from being batched in the `all non-major dependencies`. The reason behind this is that these package can contain breaking changes in minor versions, hence they should be treated as breaking and a PR should be opened separately.

- Since the PRs needs to get reviewed we replace label `action: merge` with `action: review`.
- Add `remark` and `remark-html` to `ignoreDeps` since they require some work to bump.
- Remove `commitMessage`, Renovate now creates better commit messages.
- Group all non-major dependencies into a single group and schedule the updates for every Thursday
PR Close#41834
With this change we add several packages to ignored `ignoreDeps` as these packages cannot be updated safely as they cause a large number of errors.
In addition, we add a group for `remark` packages.

With this change we add renovate to update dependencies in the following locations
- WORKSPACE
- integration/bazel/WORKSPACE
- package.json
- packages/**/package.json
- tools/ts-api-guardian/package.json
- aio/package.json
We also enable yarn workspaces so that dependencies in these packages are hoisting to the root and renovate doesn't created nested lock files.
Enabling auto updates is important, because quite often dependencies get out of date especially in the compiler-cli which depends on a number of external dependencies.
PR Close#41407
the package.json in these tests points to file:dist/packages-dist which
is not materialized on renovate-bot, so the bot freaks out and fails to
update the lock files.
This means that the bot currently just opens up PRs that can't be merged.
Example: https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/34071
(In the past this worked nicely because we didn't keep the yarn.lock files
in the git repo for these projects, but that had a problem with unpined
depenedencies and undeterministic build/test runs).
For now it's better to disable the bot by removing all the package.jsons
from the config. We should revisit this in the future have the bot update
the root package.json instead.
