Load the "New Branch" button asynchronously

This button depends on Issue#can_be_worked_on? which in turn depends on
Issue#related_branches. By rendering this button asynchronously we can
finally remove all usages of Issue#related_branches and
Issue#referenced_merge_requests from the issues "show" page.
