Secret scanning: Notifications for commit authors on private repositories

Secret scanning on private repositories now notifies commit authors when they push a change that includes a potential secret. The commit author can view the associated alert and mark it as revoked or false positive. As always, details of the last action taken on the alert are displayed in the UI and in the API.
