- Introduce a “Bypass Protection Allowlist” on branch rules
(users/teams) alongside admins, with BlockAdminMergeOverride
still respected.
- Surface the allowlist in API (create/edit options, structs) and
settings UI; merge box now shows the red button +
message for bypass-capable users.
- Apply bypass logic to merge checks and pre-receive so allowlisted
users can override unmet approvals/status checks/
protected files when force-merging.
- Add migration for new columns, locale strings, and unit tests (bypass
helper; queue test tweak).

Currently for rules to re-order them you have to alter the creation
date. so you basicly have to delete and recreate them in the right
order. This is more than just inconvinient ...

This PR introduce glob match for protected branch name. The separator is
`/` and you can use `*` matching non-separator chars and use `**` across
separator.
It also supports input an exist or non-exist branch name as matching
condition and branch name condition has high priority than glob rule.
Should fix#2529 and #15705
