Subject: [PATCH] ci(dependabot): split react from the minor-and-patch group

@react-three/fiber 9.7 caps its peer at react <19.3, so bundling
react into the catch-all group blocks every other bump whenever a
new React minor ships. Excluding react, react-dom, and their type
packages lets the rest of the group merge independently while React
gets its own PR that can wait for fiber compatibility.
