[JENKINS-57014] Enable deployment web hooks

We currently use the existing GH Events for our CI pipeline to compile and provide feedback on our codebase changes. We would like to extend the functionality to trigger a pipeline based upon the creation of a deployment within GitHub (docs). Deployments are how we signify that we would like to release a branch/sha/tag to production.

Unlike adding a specific comment, using a specific tag or creating a PR; deployments give us an audit trail of what was pushed and when alongside the code that was pushed.
