Implement automatic version updates via GitHub webhooks

[Copilot]

Fixes #272 by implementing automatic framework version updates when GitHub sends release webhooks.

What Changed

This PR adds a GitHub webhook handler that automatically updates the config/versions.php file when new Yii framework releases are published, eliminating the need for manual version updates.

Implementation Details

Core Components

• GitHubWebhookAction - New action class that handles GitHub release webhooks with:

  • HMAC-SHA256 signature validation for security
  • Support for both Yii 2.0 (yiisoft/yii2) and Yii 1.1 (yiisoft/yii) repositories
  • Automatic parsing and validation of release payloads
  • Smart insertion of new versions at the top of the appropriate arrays

• Webhook Endpoint - Added /site/github-webhook endpoint to SiteController

• Configuration - Added github-webhook-secret parameter for webhook security

How It Works

When a new release is published on a supported repository:

1. GitHub sends a webhook POST request to /site/github-webhook
2. The action validates the request signature using the configured secret
3. If valid, it extracts the release information (tag name, publish date)
4. The new version is automatically added to the appropriate section in config/versions.php
5. The file is updated with the new version at the top of the list

Security Features

• Webhook signature validation using HMAC-SHA256
• Only processes "published" release events
• Whitelist of supported repositories (yiisoft/yii2, yiisoft/yii)
• Version format validation (e.g., 2.x.x for Yii 2.0, 1.1.x for Yii 1.1)
• Duplicate version detection

Testing

The implementation includes comprehensive functional tests using Codeception that test the actual webhook endpoint:

• Endpoint accessibility and routing
• Ping event handling
• HTTP method validation
• Signature validation scenarios
• Unsupported repository handling
• Invalid version format detection
• Missing required fields handling

Documentation

Complete setup instructions are included in the main README.md, covering:

• Configuration of webhook secrets
• GitHub repository webhook setup
• Security considerations
• Testing procedures

Setup Required

After deployment, administrators need to:

1. Configure the webhook secret in params-local.php:

   'github-webhook-secret' => 'your-secret-here'
   

2. Add webhooks in GitHub repository settings:

   • URL: https://www.yiiframework.com/site/github-webhook
   • Content-Type: application/json
   • Secret: Same as configured above
   • Events: Releases only

This follows the same pattern successfully used by yiiframework.ru and provides a robust, secure, and well-tested solution for keeping version information current automatically.
