Added possible values for X-GitHub-Hook-Installation-Target-Type header.
Why:
The documentation for the X-GitHub-Hook-Installation-Target-Type webhook delivery header previously described its purpose but did not specify the possible values it may contain. This lack of detail made it difficult for developers to reliably distinguish between repository, organization, and GitHub App webhooks using header information alone.
This change improves clarity and completeness for developers implementing webhook handlers.
Closes: #41739
What's being changed (included screenshots):
Included concise descriptions for each value to clearly indicate the webhook source.
Added a short explanatory note describing how this header can be used to distinguish webhook origins without relying solely on the payload structure.
This update is documentation-only and does not change any existing webhook behavior.
