Update precommit versions automatically inside the template

[adamltyson]

Is there a way of using the pre-commit.ci bot to do this inside the template?

ARC python cookiecutter seems to be using Renovate for this (see example here).

An alternative is Dependabot, which is built into Github.

ARC users mention both are easy to use and set up. The main advantage they mention of renovate over dependabot is that it is a bit more flexible in terms of configuring which files to look into and what (regex) pattern to use to detect versions.

Renovate looks like a good idea. We could in principle use it to keep some other parts of the template up to date.
