Ensure the maximum number of webhooks per repo is not exceeded

Repository webhooks allow you to receive HTTP POST payloads whenever certain events happen in a repository. The webhook REST APIs enable you to manage repository, organization, and app webhooks.
You can use this API to list webhook deliveries for a webhook, or get and redeliver an individual delivery for a webhook, which can be integrated into an external app or service. You can also use the REST API to change the configuration of the webhook. For example, you can modify the payload URL, content type, SSL verification, and secret.
