ci(ci): lift the subject-length limit for Dependabot titles - #50

Conversation
#49 assumed committed rejected Dependabot's capitalized "Bump". It doesn't: subject_capitalized = false only means a capital is not required. What committed actually rejects is length. A title such as "chore(deps): Bump ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/common-utils from 2.5.9 to 2.7.1" is 81 characters, and Dependabot cannot shorten it. For Dependabot alone, committed now runs against a copy of the config with subject_length = 0. The lowercasing #49 added did nothing, so it is removed. The Bump allowance in the subject pattern stays. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Follow-up to #49. Rebasing Dependabot's #47 onto main proved half of #49 right and half wrong:

Whatcommittedactually rejected was length:Commit subject is too long, 81 exceeds the max length of 72. Dependabot spells out the full package path (ghcr.io/devcontainers/features/common-utils) and has no option to shorten it.Changes:
