Subject: [PATCH] fix(renovate): refine renovate separateMultipleMajor rules

Remove the global separateMultipleMajor setting and instead apply it via packageRules. Ungrouped dependencies now get separate PRs for each major version (matchJsonata rule), while specific groups (Docker images/actions, GitHub actions, pytest/dev deps, and the jprm group) explicitly opt out with separateMultipleMajor: false to avoid noisy major-version PRs for those packages.
