Filter code scanning API results by alert severity

You can now filter results from the code scanning REST API based on alert severity. Use the parameter severity to return only code scanning alerts with a specific severity. This is available at the repository and organization level.

This feature is available on GitHub.com, and will also be included in GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) version 3.8.

In a small but frequently requested improvement, GitHub now shows the date that an archived repository was put into read-only mode to indicate it is no longer actively maintained.

Previously, you could see that a repo was in the 'archived' state and probably infer from the commit log when it last saw activity, but the actual date the archiving happened was not surfaced anywhere. Now there's a date included in the "this repo is read-only" banner at the top of the repository view.

Repositories archived prior to November 9th, 2022, will display a more generic message.
