Allow users to auto-updated npm dependencies with RenovateBot

Problem to solve

Developers don't want to manually update packages, if there is a new, stable version of a package available. Ideally a bot would alert them when a package has been updated and automatically open an MR that installs the latest, stable version of their NPM package.

Intended users

• Delaney (Development Team Lead)
• Sasha (Software Developer)
• Devon (DevOps Engineer)
• Sidney (Systems Administrator)

Further details

Proposal

Integrate with RenovateBot for npm packages that will allow the user to auto update npm packages. For the MVC we can start with a webhook or simply by letting users know they can add @renovatebot to their project and start updating dependencies.
