fix(lidarr): unpin the ImageRepository and keep Renovate out of image-automation

Renovate (141b11a9, 2026-11-02 03:01Z) pinned a digest into ImageRepository/lidarr spec.image. image-reflector rejects that (ImageURLInvalid: "should not include a tag"), so Flux stopped scanning lidarr and FluxImageAutomationNotReady fires. Renovate touched it because dab7c10e moved the ImageRepository and the workload refs from lscr.io to ghcr.io/linuxserver/lidarr, while the renovate.json list of Flux-managed images kept lscr.io/linuxserver/lidarr. - lidarr.yaml: spec.image back to ghcr.io/linuxserver/lidarr. - renovate.json: the list names ghcr.io/linuxserver/lidarr instead of lscr.io, so Renovate also leaves the workload refs in apps/navidrome/lidarr.yaml to Flux. - renovate.json: ignorePaths gains kubernetes/infrastructure/image-automation/**. That directory holds only ImageRepository/ImagePolicy/ImageUpdateAutomation objects; no image ref in it is a deployable pin, and an ImageRepository spec.image must never carry a tag or digest. This is the second time in a week (gitea-mcp, ffd24865) a list gap let Renovate pin one. Closes #1551
