[VERCEL] Trigger GitHub Actions with enriched deployment data from Vercel

You can now trigger GitHub Actions workflows in response to Vercel deployment events with enriched data using repository_dispatch events. These events are sent from Vercel to GitHub, enabling more flexible, cost-efficient CI workflows, and easier end-to-end testing for Vercel deployments.

Previously, we recommended using deployment_status events, but these payloads were limited and required extra parsing or investigation to understand what changed.
