Removes the uget-dependencies group that bundled all NuGet updates into a single PR (e.g. #1458). Without grouping, Dependabot opens one PR per package, which makes it easier to review, bisect regressions, and revert a single problematic bump without losing the other updates.

Pull request overview
This PR updates the repository’s Dependabot configuration to stop grouping all NuGet dependency updates into a single PR, restoring Dependabot’s default “one PR per dependency” behavior to make upgrades easier to review and revert independently.
Changes:
- Removed the catch-all NuGet
groupsconfiguration (patterns: ["*"]) from.github/dependabot.yml. - Kept the existing weekly NuGet schedule and
open-pull-requests-limit: 10unchanged.

Why
The Dependabot config currently groups every NuGet update into a single PR via a catch-all
"*"pattern (see #1458, which bumps 4 unrelated packages at once). Grouping all dependencies makes review harder, hides per-package risk, and forces an all-or-nothing merge: if one bump regresses, the other safe updates get held up too.What changed
Removes the
groups: nuget-dependenciesblock from.github/dependabot.yml. Dependabot will revert to its default behavior of one PR per dependency.open-pull-requests-limit: 10is unchanged, so the queue is still capped.Trade-offs
More PRs per week, but each one is small, individually reviewable, and independently revertable. If routine bumps become noisy later, we can re-introduce a narrower group (for example minor/patch-only, or a specific package family) rather than grouping everything.
