Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Add GH_AW_PROJECT_URL to main safe outputs handler

This ensures that the missing_data handler and other non-project safe outputs
can access the default project URL when a workflow has a project configured in
frontmatter. Previously, GH_AW_PROJECT_URL was only available to project-specific
handlers (update_project, create_project_status_update).

Fixes workflow run: https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw/actions/runs/21527086220
