Renovate titled its pull requests `build(deps-dev): bump all` and
`chore(deps): lock file maintenance`, in the Conventional Commits style
this organization does not use. Each one lands as a commit like any
other, so the history carried two formats, and the one the bot used is
the one the handbook and the checks do not recognize.

Its titles and commits now open with the packages category, `📦`, then
`：` with no space, then what it did in lowercase: `📦：bump cspell to
v10.3.3`, `📦：lock file maintenance`.

The semantic prefixes go, along with the preset that set their type
and the per-dependency-type prefixes; the labels those rules also set
stay. The format is written as the commit message template, because a
prefix gets a space after it and every kind of update sets its own
action, so neither of the other options can put the emoji first on
every update. The template lowercases the action, which the presets
capitalize (`Lock file maintenance`, `Pin`), and leaves the package
name as it is.

This is the change the organization defaults repository made for
itself, so all three repositories title dependency updates alike.
