Fix IDE on empty repo

What does this MR do?

This MR fixes the IDE assumption that the repo is not empty. Previously we did this at a top-level action, but this kept part of the Vuex state from being initialized. This MR takes that approach of letting the low-level actions (i.e. getBranchData) be more robust.

Follow-up issues

This MR fixes some issues, but there are still some preexisting issues to take care of before we can show the IDE button on an empty project.

• Add feature spec #213849 (closed) (this is currently blocked by another MR !27342 (merged))

Description	Screenshot
🐛 #213338 (closed) After the initial commit, the local state isn't updated properly so the default branch is treated as non-commitable. It works if you refresh the page.
🐛 #213581 (closed) If you visit the IDE for an empty project without being able to push code, we should probably show a helpful message explaining that you won't be able to do anything...
