closes #14243

easiest way to enable renovate after merging this config is to install the renovate 'Mend' app.

alternatively, it can be added as a github action - https://github.com/renovatebot/github-action

this is motivated by the absolute tyre fire that dependabot support for python lockfiles has been. In nearly 2 years they've not been able to get it to work correctly.

good to get your thoughts on this @AA-Turner. This addresses some of the concerns you (we) had about dependabot lockfile support

@sphinx-doc/developers any interest in this?

renovate is a nicer experience than dependabot (mainly the 'dependency dashboard feature), much more customisable, and has better support for Python (dependabot doesn't support lockfiles at all, security scanning for UV is currently broken, etc. etc.)
