chore(renovate): show real release age and fetch changelogs (!98)
Three gaps in the Renovate setup, all about having enough in front of you at review time.

### Age reads UNKNOWN

`config:recommended` already brings in `mergeConfidence:age-confidence-badges`, so the Age column existed — it just rendered grey. Fetching the badge SVGs from `developer.mend.io` directly shows why: Mend's index covers Maven Central but has nothing for Google's Maven repo, so every androidx/compose coordinate is blank. No token changes it; the JSON API behind the badges answers 401 for everyone.

| coordinate | registry | age badge |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `androidx.compose:compose-bom` | Google Maven | UNKNOWN |
| `androidx.core:core-ktx` | Google Maven | UNKNOWN |
| `com.google.truth:truth` | Maven Central | 2y |
| `org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib` | Maven Central | 1y (confidence high, passing 99%) |

Age is now computed from `newVersionAgeInDays`, which Renovate derives itself to evaluate `minimumReleaseAge` — Google Maven serves `last-modified` on its POMs, so it's populated where Mend is blank, and the number agrees with the tiers it's read against. Mend keeps the Confidence column, which still resolves for the Maven Central half (Kotlin, Gradle, AGP, the test stack).

### Empty release notes

We run against Gitea, but the packages are *released* on GitHub, so changelog lookups were going out unauthenticated against a 60/h limit. `RENOVATE_GITHUB_COM_TOKEN` lifts that.

**Needs a secret before it does anything:** a github.com PAT with **no scopes ticked**, added as repo secret `GITHUB_COM_TOKEN`. Until then the var resolves empty, which is exactly today's behaviour.

### Nothing expressed how settled a release is

Cooling-off scaled by blast radius: 30 days major, 20 minor, 10 patch/digest.

Deliberately advisory. Renovate's default `internalChecksFilter: strict` would suppress the PR outright until the version aged in; `none` opens it at the highest version immediately, so merging ahead of the window stays a decision rather than a wait. A too-young release still gets a yellow `renovate/stability-days` check — `setStability` computes that from `minimumReleaseAge` + `releaseTimestamp` independently of the filter — and with `automerge: false` nothing acts on it.

### Notes

Validated with `renovate-config-validator` against the pinned 43.232.0. Config is read from the default branch, so the open bump PRs keep their current tables until the next run after this merges.
