Auto-merge GitHub Actions digest updates without PRs

[Copilot]

Renovate now automatically merges GitHub Actions digest updates directly to branch without creating PRs or requiring manual review.

Changes

Added specific package rule for GitHub Actions digest updates and removed the redundant general digest updates rule:

• matchManagers: ['github-actions'] + matchUpdateTypes: ['digest'] to target GHA SHA updates only
• automergeType: 'branch' to merge directly without PR creation
• minimumReleaseAge: null for immediate merging
• Removed the "all digest updates" rule to keep configuration focused on GitHub Actions only

{
  groupName: 'github-actions digest updates',
  matchManagers: ['github-actions'],
  matchUpdateTypes: ['digest'],
  automerge: true,
  automergeType: 'branch',
  minimumReleaseAge: null,
}

Digest updates (e.g., actions/checkout@de0fac2e... → actions/checkout@abc123ef...) now commit directly to branch. Other package digest updates will continue to create PRs as before.

Original prompt

Update my renovate config to automatically merge digest updates for actions without PRs or my need to review, approve and merge them.

Removed the all-digest rule in ef33bc4. Now only the GitHub Actions-specific digest rule remains.
