Should renovate.json be part of all the descendant projects? #219

Description

@janbrasna

This repo currently uses Renovate for bumps, which includes renovate.json in tree — that becomes part of all the repositories created from this template, even when these have no relationship with, or awareness of Renovate — or any instructions to set it up as part of the steps after customizing.

Wondering if moving to just dependabot would benefit the clones, in a way it's sorta the platform default now, so a dependabot config in tree would just mean bot bumps "for free", without having to set up a third party service (or be deleting an unused file from the template otherwise).

Also dependabot doesn't try to upgrade the Python constraint… which Renovate is still stubbornly trying, unsuccessfully needless to say.
