Secret scanning webhooks for alert locations

GitHub Advanced Security customers using secret scanning can now opt to receive a webhook each time a secret is detected in a new location. The secret_scanning_alert_location webhook event includes location details, like the commit SHA, and the associated alert for the detection. A location is created for every new file path containing the detected secret.
