[JENKINS-56830] consistency between 'repository.url' and 'repository.html_url' in push webhook payload
as stated in the github API documentation, the payload of a repository object https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#response should contain in the 'url' field an URI pointing to the repository itself at the API level.
Probably for historical reasons, the content of the 'repository.url' field sent from the github.com API is wrong.
Servers that comply more strictly to the API documentation send int the field 'repository' a value pointing to the API URI of the repository leading in failures while reading the webhook event payload

In `DefaultPushGHEventSubscriber` the field 'repository.html_url' could be used as a fallback in case the field 'repository.url' cannot be interpreted.
