Introduce CodeRabbitAI config file to fine tune its response

[igorpecovnik]

Description

We would like that AI also checks automatic PR's like this one #8860 which is normally skipped. But on the same time we don't want other bots to be engegad.

How Has This Been Tested?

Untested. Trusting in AI :)

Poem

🐰 I hopped a config into view,
Language set and reviews too,
Labels bloom and summaries sing,
Bots are quiet — let humans spring,
Hop on, reviewers — bring the woo!

6-9: Auto-review configuration looks good, but verify the overall config validity.

The reviews.auto_review structure is correct: enabled, labels, and ignore_usernames are all valid fields. The use of ignore_usernames: ["dependabot[bot]", "renovate[bot]"] aligns well with the PR objective to avoid bot engagement.

However, resolve the schema validation issues in the ignored_titles and summarization fields before merging, as these may not be recognized by CodeRabbit.
