Added ignore rule for specific dependency version in Maven updates.
Root Cause: In November 2022, @dependabot ignore this minor version was used on PR #509, which blocked all mina-core 2.2.x updates. The repo's mina-core is currently at 2.2.4, and there's now a security advisory requiring a newer 2.2.x patch — but Dependabot's stored ignore rule is still blocking those versions. Since the PR is >2 years old, @dependabot unignore on it doesn't work.
Solution: GitHub's docs state that ignore conditions in dependabot.yml completely override any stored PR-comment-based ignores for that dependency.
Once the security PR is created and merged, you can remove this ignore entry entirely.
