Update logic for branchNameStrict=true so that it also removes forward slashes from branch names, with the exception of the `branchPrefix` part. In other words, if you leave the default `branchPrefix="renovate/"` then you'll get branch names like `renovate/foo-bar-42-x` instead of today's `renovate/foo/bar-42-x`.

BREAKING CHANGE: Branch names with multiple forward slashes will change if branchNameStrict=true

Updates default Renovate sidecar container to v13, which is based on Ubuntu 24.04.

BREAKING CHANGE: Renovate sidecard images will default to use Ubuntu 24.04 instead of 20.04

Update Renovate base-image from v7 to v9. Includes the following potentially breaking changes for -full image:
 - Update Ubuntu base image to 24.04
 - Update dependency python to v3.13.0
 - Update dependency node to v22
Additionally, some changes to internal paths were made (only affects users who install things themselves or rely on static locations of binaries).

BREAKING CHANGE: The Renovate full image now uses Ubuntu 24.04, Python 3.13 and Node v22

Changes the priority order so that squash merges are preferred over rebase merge and merge commits. Doing so allows GitHub to sign the resulting commit on the base branch.

BREAKING CHANGE: Renovate will now prefer squash merges over others in GitHub, if they are allowed.

Sets RENOVATE_BINARY_SOURCE=global in Renovate official "-full" images.

Closes #32136

BREAKING CHANGE: Renovate -full images will now use binarySource=global. Set RENOVATE_BINARY_SOURCE=install to revert to dynamic tool installation.

Updates Renovate's package.json>engines to add support for Node v22 LTS, and updates Renovate official Docker images to run on Node v22 instead of Node v20.

Closes #32068

BREAKING CHANGE: Renovate Docker images will now be based on Node.js v22 instead of v20
