Subject: [PATCH] Fix #5112: Filter out branches with empty names in git config

When .git/config contains a [branch ""] section with an empty name,
lazygit was unable to display branches or remotes. This fix filters
out any branches with empty names when loading branch configuration,
preventing the issue.

The fix is minimal and focused on the specific issue: empty branch
names are now excluded from the returned branch map in the
ConfigCommands.Branches() method.
