Document behavior of `prefix` in dependabot.yml
Why:
It would have been helpful to me if the documentation was more straight-forward about that a : is appended to the commit title by default and how to disable that the : is appended (for example, by having trailing whitespace)
For reference, here is the implementation: https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/blob/06702c83e5d964173504ddba6838c37fe37207ba/common/lib/dependabot/pull_request_creator/pr_name_prefixer.rb#L75-L83
What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):
Add an example, how to disable that a : is appended.
