fix(release): render dependency updates in release notes

[cwaits6]

Problem

Releases triggered only by chore(deps) / ci(deps) commits (e.g. v1.1.3, v1.2.1) are published with empty bodies. The custom releaseRules entry makes commit-analyzer cut a patch release for chore(deps), but release-notes-generator's default angular preset hides chore/ci commits — so the release exists but the notes are blank.

Fix

Switch commit-analyzer and release-notes-generator to the conventionalcommits preset with an explicit presetConfig.types list that renders chore(deps) and ci(deps) under a Dependencies section.

Notes:

• conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits is already installed by the shared krypsis-io/.github release workflow, so no change is needed there.
• presetConfig.types replaces the default list wholesale (no merging), so feat/fix/perf/revert must be re-declared.
• Type lookup is first-match-wins, so the scoped chore(deps)/ci(deps) entries are placed before the general hidden chore/ci entries.
• The chore(deps) → patch release rule is unchanged; ci(deps) still doesn't trigger releases on its own, it just renders when riding along.
