feat(performance): remove BranchName
in /:owner/:repo/commit/:commit
`BranchName` provides the nearest branch of the requested `:commit`. It's plenty fast on smaller repositories. On larger repositories like nixpkgs, however, this can easily take 2-3 seconds on a modern machine on a NVMe. For context, at the time of writing, nixpkgs has over 650k commits and roughly 250 branches. `BranchName` is used once in the whole view: The cherry-pick target branch default selection. And I believe that's a logic error, which is why this patch is so small. The nearest branch of a given commit will always be a branch the commit is already part of. The branch you most likely *don't* want to cherry-pick to. Sure, one can technically cherry-pick a commit onto the same branch, but that simply results in an empty commit. I don't believe this is intended and even less so worth the compute. Instead, the cherry-pick branch selection suggestion now always uses the default branch, which used to be the fallback. If a user wants to know which branches contain the given commit, `load-branches-and-tags` exists and should be used instead. Also, to add insult to injury, `BranchName` was calculated for both logged-in and not logged-in users, despite its only consumer, the cherry-pick operation, only being rendered when a given user has write/commit permissions. But this isn't particularly surprising, given this happens a lot in Forgejo's codebase.
