Subject: [PATCH] refactor: Update most frequently updating groups to run on
 Thursdays

At least two of the named groups in our renovate config are spammy sending out multiple PRs in a given day and can be overwhelming for the caretaker. Switching them to Thursdays means all the updates will happen then on the first day of the cycle, allowing the rest of the time as caretaker to be less noisy.
