This PR is in response to issue #6966.
It seems like the greatest number of Dependabot PR spam comes from the JavaScript dependencies for cirq-web. This change to the "npm" Dependabot config to make it group minor and/or patch version updates into a single PR if they are not security-related changes; all other updates (meaning, any security updates, and any major version updates) will be handled using the default method, which is separate PRs.
This
groups
configuration is based on an example in the Dependabot documentation.With respect to this week's Dependabot activity, this configuration would only have affected the one for ts-loader; the others were all major version changes, and (unfortunately for us) probably should remain as individual PRs so they can be checked by a human.
