feat!: default to rangeStrategy=auto, prefer update-lockfile (#19942)

Changes `rangeStrategy` default value from `'replace'` to `'auto'`.

Changes `auto` behavior so that `update-lockfile` is preferred if the manager supports the `updateLockedDependency()` function.

Closes #19800

BREAKING CHANGE: Renovate will now default to updating locked dependency versions. To revert to previous behavior, configure rangeStrategy=replace.
