Subject: [PATCH] ci: stop dependabot proposing updates that cannot install

Several open Dependabot PRs fail npm ci or bump one package of a set that has to move
together:

- `/sdk`: typescript 7 is outside typescript-eslint's range (`<6.1.0`). The Babel and
  Jest presets are released with react-native, so they are grouped into one PR
- `/demo`: react-native 0.88 needs react `^19.3.0` and changes the native projects, so
  the React Native packages are upgraded by hand. `@react-native/eslint-config` only
  supports eslint 8 and 9
- `/ExpoDemo`: babel-preset-expo is built on Babel 7. CI builds debug apps, which do
  not bundle JS, so it cannot catch a Babel 8 break
