Use frontend fetch for branch dropdown component (go-gitea#25719)

- Send request to get branch/tag list, use loading icon when waiting for
response.
- Only fetch when the first time branch/tag list shows.
- For backend, removed assignment to `ctx.Data["Branches"]` and
`ctx.Data["Tags"]` from `context/repo.go` and passed these data wherever
needed.
- Changed some `v-if` to `v-show` and used native `svg` as mentioned in
go-gitea#25719 (comment) to
improve perfomance when there are a lot of branches.
- Places Used the dropdown component:

- Note:

UI of dropdown menu could be improved in another PR as it should apply
to more dropdown menus.
