feat(presets): improve grouping of symfony packages

[herndlm]

Changes

Only applies the group to the packagist datasource and avoids grouping the most popular packages from the same vendor which are not released together with the core framework packages.

After this non-complete / best-effort change the list of irrelevant packages is down from ~83 to ~12 which should improve symfony-grouped PRs already quite a bit, especially if people are either slow with updates or just started using renovate and are catching up.

Context

There are a couple of popular symfony/* packages which are not released together with the core framework / monorepo. And it often can happen that some of those have updates as well, which leads to undesired behaviour (e.g. update includes non-relevant package, mix of target versions in the PR, PR is immortal, ..)

I grabbed all non-abandoned symfony packages from packagist.org, excluded the ones that have releases for the latest framework and tried to find a couple of simple, non-complete, patterns which would improve the situation.

php script to grab packages

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

$packageNames = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://packagist.org/packages/list.json?vendor=symfony'), true, 512, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR)['packageNames'] ?? null;
assert($packageNames !== null);

$packageLatestVersions = [];
foreach ($packageNames as $packageName) {
    $latestReleases = json_decode(file_get_contents("https://repo.packagist.org/p2/{$packageName}.json"), true, 512, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR)['packages'][$packageName];
    assert($latestReleases !== null);

    if ([] === $latestReleases) {
        continue;
    }

    if (isset($latestReleases[0]['abandoned'])) {
        continue;
    }

    $latestVersion = $latestReleases[0]['version'] ?? null;
    assert($latestVersion !== null);

    if (str_starts_with($latestVersion, 'v7.2')) {
        continue;
    }

    $packageLatestVersions[$packageName] = $latestVersion;
}

var_dump($packageLatestVersions);

}

Additionally, I added some of the most popular packages which are also used in the demo symfony app: https://github.com/symfony/demo/blob/v2.6.0/composer.json

And as last step I also removed the packages which showed up on the first 5 pages of https://packagist.org/packages/symfony/debug?query=symfony%2F manually.
