What does this MR do?

For #321655 (closed)

This is an iterative step that adds the dropdown UI for the branch switcher in the pipeline editor. Functionality and loading of data from the backend will be added in future MRs.

The backend dependency for this issue is still in development, so this feature uses a client resolver for now and is hidden behind the :pipeline-editor-branch-switcher feature flag.

The breakdown of the implementation for this issue is as follows:

State	Progress
you are here	Add dropdown UI to the pipeline editor
WIP	When clicking on a branch, switch to that branch and load the correct data
TODO	Special Case: add branch switcher to empty state
TODO	Fetch the branch list from GraphQL (when query is available)
