Replaces Team Infra's fragmented default/aggressive/library/office-hours preset chain with one self-contained preset, team-infra-automerge: automerge everything once CI passes, major versions always excluded, a small set of named exceptions documented as commented packageRules in the file itself. No external-consumer/-base split, unlike the other presets - Team Infra repos are all internal. Client-delivery repos and every other existing preset are untouched - this is additive, scoped to Team Infra's own repos only. Known limitations, documented in README.md: - Terraform provider automerge assumes CI already fails on a bad plan; repos should add `terraform plan -detailed-exitcode` against Renovate-created PRs before relying on it. - Automerging based on Renovate's merge-confidence level isn't possible here - matchConfidence needs a Mend API key (private beta only), so the policy relies on CI + named exceptions instead of a confidence gate.
