git_ui: Improve the branch picker UI (#44217)

Follow up to https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/42819 and
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/44206.

- Make this picker feel more consistent with other similar pickers
(namely, the project picker)
- Move actions to the footer and toggle them conditionally
- Only show the "Create" and "Create New From: {default}" when we're
selecting the "Create" list item _or_ when that item is the only
visible. This means I'm changing here the state transition to only
change to `NewBranch/NewRemote` if we only have those items available.
- Reuse more UI code and use components when available (e.g.,
`ListHeader`)
- Remove secondary actions from the list item

Next step (in another PR), will be refine the same picker in the
smaller, panel version.
