fix(actions): populate github.event for scheduled runs (#38446)

Scheduled runs stored a `null` event payload, so
`github.event.repository`/`sender`/`organization` were empty in
scheduled workflows. Every other event carries them, and so does GitHub
Actions. `CreateScheduleTask` now synthesizes them.
