Add pyload (ct)

On a merged PR labelled "breaking change", POST the PR number to the site's
/api/breaking-changes/ingest endpoint so it can show a temporary advisory on
the affected scripts. Uses pull_request_target (secrets available for fork
PRs) and never checks out PR code — it only forwards the number after merge.
The `labeled` trigger also covers labelling a PR after it has merged.

Requires repo secret BREAKING_CHANGE_INGEST_SECRET (matching the site) and an
optional SITE_URL variable (defaults to https://community-scripts.org).

+# When a PR labelled "breaking change" is merged, tell the Helper-Scripts site
+# so it can show a temporary advisory on the affected scripts. The site pulls
+# the PR itself and re-verifies it is merged + labelled, so this workflow only
+# has to hand over the PR number.
+#
+# Requires one repo secret:
+#   BREAKING_CHANGE_INGEST_SECRET  — must match the value the site runs with.
+# Site URL is taken from the existing FRONTEND_URL secret, then an optional
+# SITE_URL variable, then a hard default.
+#
+# pull_request_target (not pull_request) so the run has access to the secret
+# even for fork PRs. It is safe here: the job never checks out or runs PR code —
+# it only forwards the number after the PR has merged.
