Add Webhook authorization header (#20926)

_This is a different approach to #20267, I took the liberty of adapting
some parts, see below_

## Context

In some cases, a weebhook endpoint requires some kind of authentication.
The usual way is by sending a static `Authorization` header, with a
given token. For instance:

- Matrix expects a `Bearer <token>` (already implemented, by storing the
header cleartext in the metadata - which is buggy on retry #19872)
- TeamCity #18667
- Gitea instances #20267
- SourceHut https://man.sr.ht/graphql.md#authentication-strategies (this
is my actual personal need :)

## Proposed solution

Add a dedicated encrypt column to the webhook table (instead of storing
it as meta as proposed in #20267), so that it gets available for all
present and future hook types (especially the custom ones #19307).

This would also solve the buggy matrix retry #19872.

As a first step, I would recommend focusing on the backend logic and
improve the frontend at a later stage. For now the UI is a simple
`Authorization` field (which could be later customized with `Bearer` and
`Basic` switches):

The header name is hard-coded, since I couldn't fine any usecase
justifying otherwise.

## Questions

- What do you think of this approach? @justusbunsi @Gusted @silverwind 
- ~~How are the migrations generated? Do I have to manually create a new
file, or is there a command for that?~~
- ~~I started adding it to the API: should I complete it or should I
drop it? (I don't know how much the API is actually used)~~

## Done as well:

- add a migration for the existing matrix webhooks and remove the
`Authorization` logic there


_Closes #19872_
