Include source branch in MR search view

Problem to solve

In short, the problem to solve is: Improve the user's ability to quickly identify what merge requests are while in the search results view.

The MR search results view currently show the Title and then ${GROUP}/${PROJECT}!${MR_NUMBER} but requires clinking into the MR it self to see which branch is being merged. In general it would seem to me that the source branch name (which can and often is chosen by the end user) would be at least as useful as the MR number (winch is an auto-assigned, auto-incrementing index).

Intended users

This would mostly be of use by a person who is searching for their own MR, but also when searching for MR's by a close co-worker, e.g. when looking at MRs' assign to me for review.

Proposal

Include source branch in MR search view "result tiles" along with the group/project/mr-number
