Add Renovate release branch support - #678

Conversation
Configure Renovate to maintain also supported `v2.x` branches. Apply matching Rancher presets so each release gets version-specific constraints and dependency bumps stay within release policy.
Align `.github/workflows/renovate-vault.yml` with the reusable workflow from `rancher/renovate-config` at `v1.0.10`.

Allow Renovate to maintain the CLI release branches from
v2.11throughv2.15alongsidemain.Each branch uses its matching Rancher preset, so dependency updates follow the constraints for that release (mainly security bumps, go and k8s patch level bumps) rather than proposing bumps intended for newer versions.
The configuration follows the Rancher Renovate example, adapted to this repository's branch names.
This should make sure that the Rancher CLI versions use the same Go and K8s version as their targeted Rancher version and stay in sync.
It also updates the Renovate Vault workflow to support versioning so it can be updated by Renovate in the future when a new version is released and not on every commit change.
