### Changes to Existing Features:

Adds upper-bound version caps to Renovate so updates stay within the current major lines:

- `org.junit:junit-bom` → `<6.0.0`
- `org.checkerframework*` → `<4.0.0` (added to the existing checkerframework group rule)

### Why

JUnit 6 and Checker Framework 4 are not compatible with the Java 8 target, so adopting either would require a coordinated migration rather than a drive-by Renovate PR. Capping via `allowedVersions` is preferable to the `matchCurrentVersion` / `enabled: false` pattern used elsewhere in this file because Renovate simply will not propose disallowed versions, instead of opening then disabling them.

### Submission checklist

* [x] Followed Contributing guidelines
* [x] No other open PR for the same change
* [x] Does not break existing behaviour (Renovate config only)
