Document how to remove limits in Dependabot #41359

Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/working-with-dependabot/dependabot-options-reference#open-pull-requests-limit-

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

By default, Dependabot sets open-pull-requests-limit to 5, and setting it to 0 disables the ecosystem entirely. What remains unclear is whether there’s an officially supported way to remove this limit.

I understand that setting a very large integer (e.g., 1000000) removes the limit for most practical use cases, but it is unclear if this is what the team recommends to remove the limit
