Enable secret scanning for non-provider patterns for enterprises with the REST API

GitHub Advanced Security customers using secret scanning can now use the REST API to enable or disable support for non-provider patterns at the enterprise level. This enables you to manage your enterprise settings programatically.

The following endpoints have been updated:
– Get code security and analysis features for an enterprise: check if non-provider patterns are enabled for the enterprise
– Update code security and analysis features for an enterprise: enable or disable non-provider patterns for all new repositories in an enterprise
– Enable or disable a security feature: enable or disable non-provider patterns for all existing repositories in an enterprise

Non-provider patterns scans for token types from generic providers, like private keys, auth headers, and connection strings.
