No need for {{semanticPrefix}} to be specified in templates now - it will be implicitly added to start of commit message and PR titles if semanticCommits=true

This allows for the easy overriding of our default `renovate/` branch naming.

Closes #586

- Renames `packages` to `packageRules`
- Refactor `packageName` to `packageNames` array
- Refactor `packagePattern` to `packagePatterns` array
- Adds `excludePackageNames` array
- Adds `excludePackagePatterns` array

Closes #529

Massaging of string to array is done in migration function.

depTypes configuration is now refactored from being an array of strings/objects to having each type of dep (`dependencies`, `devDependencies`, `optionalDependencies`, `peerDependencies`) be a first class object in the namespace. The "old" way of configuring is still supported but is transformed using a migrateConfig script. Later, PRs will be raised to impacted repositories to suggest the new config.

This PR adds explicit patch support. A user can set `separatePatchReleases` to true and receive not only major/minor updates but also patch updates separately. This functionality is also implicitly enabled if `automerge` is set to `patch`.
This PR also enables separate major/minor/patch configuration, e.g. config overrides for major versions, for patch versions, etc. `branchName` is currently overridden for patch branches using this technique.

Closes #390, Closes #538 

* feat: add 'patch' option to automerge

* test: add tests for automerge = patch

* docs: add patch option to automerge

* refactor(isAutomergeEnabled): write code verbosely

* feat: export isAutomergeEnabled

* test(isAutomergeEnabled): add tests

It’s now possible to set `RENOVATE_LOCK_FILE_MAINTENANCE={}` in env to disable lock file maintenance.

Closes #515

Renovate will now ignore any package.json files found within node_modules folders, with the option to disable this functionality by setting config.ignoreNodeModules=false.

Base branch for Pull Requests is now configurable via a new baseBranch configuration option. To take effect, this much be present in the default branch (e.g. master in most cases) so that it can be discovered and used. See FAQ for more details.

Closes #443

This starts off [#359](https://github.com/singapore/renovate/issues/359) (configurable status checks) but only implements one sub-feature of it: disabling status checks to allow automerge if tests fail or if no tests are present.

Closes #427

This changes how group are configured to align with the new lock file configuration.

BREAKING CHANGE: old group* template options are no longer supported but can be migrated into group object

This feature now allows a custom schedule to be defined for lock file maintenance. It is now enabled by default but runs only before 5m on Sundays. Closes #399

BREAKING CHANGE: lock file maintenance is enabled by default.
Rules will apply to both yarn and npm (npm is yet to be implemented however). Existing mainainYarn* variables are removed and replaced by new lockFileMaintenance object.

This PR adds a scheduling feature, including timezone support.
It's described in detail in the FAQ, but the summary is:

*   Timezones can be defined so that schedules are written in timezone of target repository
*   Schedules can be written in "plain english"
*   Multiple schedules allowed
*   Schedules can be defined all the way down to package level
