perf: Cache Branch Protection rules

Lennard Sprongrequested to merge
gitlab-community/gitlab-org/gitlab-vscode-extension:X_Sheep/protected-branch-cache into main

Description

This speeds up the availability of Branch Protection rules by caching the previous result. If GitLab is slow or unreachable, the rules can still be enforced this way.

The up-to-date rules will still be retrieved from GitLab as before (regardless of cache).

See #1543 (closed) for more details on this feature of the GitLab extension.

How has this been tested?

Existing tests have been modified.

  • If src/browser or src/common has been modified, please consider interoperability with the Web IDE. See Running the Extension in WebIDE.
  • Consider an end-to-end test for significant new features that aren't covered by integration tests.
