Feature description

The python package manager poetry, makes breaking changes to the expected format of its pyproject.toml and poetry.lock files across minor versions. Most recently, breaking changes were introduced in 1.5.1.

Dependabot should not change the poetry.lock file format when it runs. Instead it should either determine the appropriate poetry version to use based on the file or based on configuration provided by the user

PR that changed the version of poetry that dependabot uses: #7350
Related PR: #7418

I think this is a duplicate of a conversation that has been going on for years at #1556. Lots of additional information about the hesitancy and difficulty in supporting multiple versions.

Yeah, this is a duplicate.
