Allow user to show only protected branches when filtering the view from the `/branches` UI

Problem to solve

As a non-administrator, I want to see the summary of all protected branches Because those represent "official" releases or sanctioned branch-points (we use tags as well, but branches as another mechanism) From the branches/ view in the UI, you can't filter to protected branches. I see the "protected" "badge" on master, for example, but I'm curious what other branches are protected

Proposal

Either:

  1. A new tab alongside Active Stale All
  2. Support the query is:protected (or similar)

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Fewer questions from non-administrators to adminstrators about what branches are protected Fewer clicks for anyone who's curious People tend to use protected branches more often People clamor more frequently to administrate from the branches/ UI which branches are protected 😜
