fix: Handle cases when BASE SHA isn't known - push events

If the first commit is pushed to a new branch, `${{ github.event.before }}` has a default value of `0000000000000000000000000000000000000000`.

When we detect such SHA, we should try to get older `BASE` SHA from the `HEAD` branch if possible.
