Allow specifying protected branches using wildcards

Closes #18627 

# Tasks

- [ ]  #18627 !4665 Allow specifying protected branches using wildcards
    - [x]  Find existing usages of protected branches
        - Protecting branches
            - `ProtectedBranchesController` is used to mark a branch protected/unprotected
            - `API::Branches` can be used to mark a branch protected/unprotected
        - Enforcing branch protection
            - `Gitlab::GitAccess` has helpers (`can_push_to_branch?`, `check`) that are used to deny pushes if a branch is protected
            - Over SSH: `gitlab-shell` receives a push, and calls `/allowed` on the GitLab API, which calls `GitAccess.check`
            - Over HTTP: 
                - `gitlab-workhorse` receives the request, and forwards it to rails
                - Rails (in the `GitHttpController#git-recieve-pack`) runs basic checks (is the user logged in, not protected branch checks) and returns ok with `GL_ID` and `RepoPath`
                - `gitlab-workhorse` looks at the response, and calls the relevant `gitlab-shell` action from `git-http/handlePostRPC`
                - Rest of this flow is the same as the SSH flow above
    - [x]  Implementation
        - [x]  Backend
            - [x]  Change `project#protected_branch?` to look at wildcard protected branches
            - [x]  Change `project#developers_can_push_to_protected_branch?`
            - [x]  Change `project#open_branches`
            - [x]  Better error message when creating a disallowed branch from the Web UI
        - [x]  Frontend
            - [x]  Protected branches page should allow typing out a wildcard pattern
            - [x]  Add help text explaining the use of wildcards
            - [x]  Show matching branches for each protected branch
                - [x]  ~~On the index page~~
                - [x]  On a show page
                - [x]  Index?
            - [x]  Can't have the "last commit" column for wildcard protected branches
    - [x]  Fix / write tests
    - [x]  What happens if a hook is missing in dev?
    - [x]  Refactor
    - [x]  Test workflows
        - Create a branch matching a wildcard pattern
        - Push to a branch matching a wildcard pattern
        - Force push to a branch matching a wildcard pattern
        - Delete a branch matching a wildcard pattern
        - [x]  Test using Web UI
        - [x]  Test over SSH
        - [x]  Test over HTTP
        - [x]  Test as developer and master
    - [x]  Investigate performance
        - [x]  Test with a large number of protected branches / branches
        - [x]  Paginate list of protected branches
        - [x]  ~~Possibly rewrite `open_branches`~~
    - [x]  Add `iid`s to existing `ProtectedBranch`es
    - [x]  Add documentation
    - [x]  Add CHANGELOG entry
    - [x]  Add screenshots
    - [x]  Make sure [build](2f753e3ed2/builds) passes
    - [x]  Assign to endboss for review
    - [x]  Address @DouweM's comments
        - [x]  `protected_branch_params`
        - [x]  `exact_match` instead of `explicit_match`
        - [x]  When would self.name be blank?
        - [x]  Move `protected_branches.each` to a partial
        - [x]  Move `matching_branches.each` to a partial
        - [x]  If the branch is in @matching_branches, it's not been removed
        - [x]  move this regex to a method and memoize it
        - [x]  `commit_sha` directly for exact matches
        - [x]  Number of matches for wildcard matches, with a link
    - [x]  Wait for [build](43f9ce0e88/builds) to pass
    - [x]  Respond to @DouweM's comments

    - [x]  Update screenshots
    - [x]  Merge conflicts
    - [x]  Make sure [build](20f3cfe8d5/builds) passes
    - [ ]  Revisit performance, possibly with staging/production data

            - [ ]  Get SSH access to staging
    - [ ]  Wait for review/merge
