Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Majorly with version upgrades, the PR becomes stale and a maintainer needs to manually trigger @dependabot recreate to recreate the PR. Also, with backport PRs the major concerns are with resolving merge conflicts manually because of the tagret/source branch are out of sync.
Describe the solution you'd like
Configuring up rebase-strategy in these cases can help reduce the manual involvement and dependency on maintainers to rebase changes.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Can use default configuration which is rebase-strategy: auto. Also, can configure it to reduce the frequency of rebasing.
Not sure if we can do the same with opensearch-trigger-bot or not.
Presently, as of 9/26, we have 20 open PRs from both these bots combined.
Additional context
This can potentially help us move version upgrades & backport PRs move a lot faster and will certainly reduce the backlog we have built with so many version upgrade languishing PRs.
