* docs: explicitly document `depTypes` each manager supports
A long-standing question we receive is "what `depTypes` can I match
against in my project".
Although the best recommendation we usually have is "check the
`packageFiles with updates" log line (as a very key log line for users),
we can go one step further and try and create a stronger contract.
To do this, I've used Claude Sonnet 4.6 to work through the codebase,
determine areas that a `depType` is set in a manager (statically or
dynamically) and generate a structured, typed, means to document how
they're used.
Through a few iterations of the process, and attempts at human-written
documentation, we've settled on:
- prioritising autogenerated documentation (for humans to read) to note
what `depTypes` are known, and what they are
- `knownDepTypes`, to describe any known, static, `depType`s and their
human-readable meaning
- with the `prettyDepType`, if used
- `supportsDynamicDepTypesNote`, to add a Markdown note to the generated
documentation
While here, we also:
- make sure to note this in the "adding a new package manager"
documentation
- remove any hand-written references to `depTypes` in each manager's
documentation page
- correct the Gleam `depTypes`
- make sure to use the `knownDepTypes`'s `prettyDepType` definition if
we know it, for a given `depType`
The descriptions have been generated by Claude Sonnet, with some
human-written tweaks where appropriate.

* fixup! docs: explicitly document `depTypes` each manager supports
* docs(manager): display `depTypes` documentation if none present
For consistency, and to make it more explicit.
