gitHubCommitAction: Get error handling to work using `Either`

Get rid of the `fail` and use an `Either` for error handling instead.
This allows us to send back the response string like before, but provide
an additional error message when no data comes back from the database
query.

Remove the old error handling code I had tried to set up previously.
