Maybe we can configure dependabot to ignore the path integration-tests/**? - I know it's possible using Renovate, so maybe dependabot has a similar feature.

Maybe we can configure dependabot to ignore the path integration-tests/**? - I know it's possible using Renovate, so maybe dependabot has a similar feature.

We tried without success to do that in the past, but maybe a fresh look at it would provide a better approach.

You'll find both our hopes and despair related to this here: https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-java/blob/main/.github/dependabot.yml#L47

I see. It looks like it wasn't possible to do this with dependabot until fairly recently. I've created this PR to hopefully sort it.
