Proposed functionality

Add new object_type and object_id fields to the default JSON payload of outbound webhooks:

{
    "event": "updated",
    "timestamp": "2025-08-05T14:24:22.300153+00:00",
    "object_type": "dcim.site",
    "object_id": 123,
    "model": "site",
    "username": "admin",
    ...
}

Note: This is not a breaking change, as the currently model field will be retained to ensure backward compatibility.

Use case

Currently, only the bare model name (e.g. "site") is included. This is ambiguous and represents an opportunity for naming collisions. Additionally, providing the object ID at the JSON data root simplifies the process of extracting the data, as it obviates the need to also parse the data object.
