Add code_quality permission scope and new actor types

The GitHub REST API now includes a new code_quality permission scope for access tokens to view and manage code quality data. Additionally, the ruleset bypass actor types now support User type, and code scanning alert status descriptions expanded to include "failed" and "unknown" states. String field length constraints (maxLength) were added to artifact-related properties, and descriptions clarified that autofix endpoints operate on the default branch.
