fix: automate tested dependency updates

[patrickleet]

Summary

• Track Crossplane package constraints and runtime chart/image versions with Renovate.
• Loosen upbound.yaml requirements to major-only ranges and group AWS provider-family updates.
• Keep all dependency updates manual because this repository does not have an effective PR e2e suite; major updates remain manual as well.

Validation

• Renovate configuration validation passed across all 42 active Hops configurations.
• Local Renovate extraction found valid package/runtime values and major-only Crossplane ranges.
• git diff --check and YAML/JSON parsing passed across all 42 repositories.
• up project build could not run because the local Docker daemon is stopped.
