Adds an ignore rule for version-update:semver-major to every ecosystem in .github/dependabot.yml and updates the header comment. Minor and patch updates stay grouped, the 7-day cooldown is unchanged.

GitHub's docs do not say whether ignore also filters security updates. If it does, a vulnerability whose only fix is a major version gets no automatic pull request, but the Dependabot alert still shows.

Checked: the file keeps one ignore block per ecosystem (script asserts the count). Not checked: GitHub's own validation of the config, which runs after merge.

Closes #38

Majors need code changes, so they are upgraded by hand rather than
arriving as weekly pull requests. Minor and patch updates stay grouped.
