Add alphabetical sort for branch names

Gaurav Marwal requested to merge gitlab-community/gitlab:sort_branch_names into master

What does this MR do and why?

Branches returned did not have any default or configurable sorting logic. See #422493 (closed). Hence have added a change to provide alphabetical sorting in this MR.

Since the https://gitlab.com/gitlab-community/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/models/repository.rb?ref_type=heads#L320 returns an array of branch names alphabetical sorting was the most viable option.
