Mergo Related Build issues

Describe the bug We reverted bumps to mergo due to it causing build issues: https://github.com/rancher/backup-restore-operator/pull/539

Then I dug deeper and found k8s long standing issue about this topic here: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/107499

At minimum BRO repo needs to adjust renovate to ignore the package. Maybe we consider reverting the mergo pin to use v0.3.5 like the k8s issue says.


That in mind, there are two (and a half) portions to fixing this issue:

  1. Immediate Solution: Add this package to renovate config ignore,
  2. Medium Term Solution: Evaluate if BRO/Wranger even depend on the behaviour changes that happen on varying mergo versions, 2.5 Consider Being the BEST FOSS community members: Do we dare consider to go fix the root issues behind this 2-3+ year long issue? Would first need to be fixed at mergo package, then they would (in theory) cut a v1.0.1 then kubernetes repo needs to be updated. THEN finally we as Rancher can update Wrangler and stuff.
