Fix GitOps Command Issue on Pushed Commit by Unautorized User

Issue: when an unautorized user sends GitOps comment on a pushed commit,
PAC is triggering CI since access check is done only for pull_request
event in verifyRepoAndUser func of controller.

Solution: added a check for push event and Ops comment event
type in verifyRepoAndUser func.
