Configure renovate to not pin dependencies

[deviantintegral]

It looks like Renovate is treating our dependencies like an app and trying to pin them. We should either:

• Set renovate to not automatically pin dependencies.
• Set renovate to always widen dependencies.

This should clean up and reduce effort with all of our various dependency updates.

I'm calling this high because solving this should significantly reduce the amount of renovate PRs that need manual attention.

I don't have a preference to either of the above solutions - @justafish @davereid can you suggest ways to solve this so we can update the ticket description with a specific action / outcome?

This was somewhat addressed already in #416 but we can add some more packages to it

[justafish]

Notes from call today:

• Though we don't merge PRs where the range is already wide, e.g. ^6|^7, it is useful to see tests running on updates to packages to verify they haven't introduced any bugs
• It would be good to record that we're closing them on purpose rather than it looking like we're ignoring the updates

[deviantintegral]

I see #443 was merged and I think I see what you're doing there - but @justafish mind describing what led you to that solution? And I think that will close this ticket?

this is fine now other than this 1 PR which is "immortal" #451
this might be being inherited from the symfony configuration from Renovate? not sure

All previous PRs closed.
Renovate isn't pinning anymore.
