Handles branch delete event on github

When a branch is deleted via repository UI, a push event
is triggered and the payload will have a zero hash value

Hence, this patch handles the deletion of branch deletion and
returns early from ParsePayload function without further
processing which in turn also avoids unnecessary log noise
