Description This PR adds a branch_count field to the repository API response. Currently, clients have to fetch all branches via /branches just to determine the total number of branches. This addition brings Gitea closer to parity with GitLab's API and improves efficiency for UI/CLI clients that need this metric. Linked Issue Fixes #35351 Changes API Structs: Added BranchCount field to Repository struct in modules/structs/repo.go. Database Logic: Implemented CountBranches in models/git/branch.go using XORM for efficient counting. Service Layer: Updated the ToRepo conversion logic in services/convert/repository.go to populate the new field during API serialisation. Tests: Added a new unit test TestCountBranches in models/git/branch_test.go to verify counts (including handling of deleted branches).

Verified that adding a branch increments the count and deleting a branch (soft-delete) decrements it. Ran backend linting: make lint-backend (Passed). Ran specific unit test: go test -v -tags "sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify" ./models/git -run TestCountBranches (Passed). Co-authored-by: silverwind <me@silverwind.io>
