fix: handle push tag events on merge commits

When a "push tag" event triggers a GitHub Actions workflow,
the "commits" array in the event payload is empty, so the commit count
in this case (GITHUB_PUSH_COMMIT_COUNT) is 0.

In the particular case of a tag pointing to a merge commit, adjust the
logic that initializes GITHUB_PUSH_COMMIT_COUNT.
