browse: Handle snapshots whose branches target contents or directories

Antoine Lambert requested to merge generated-differential-D8807-source into generated-differential-D8807-target

Previously swh-web was only supporting the browsing of snapshot branches targeting revisions but we recently introduced new Software Heritage loaders producing snapshots whose branches target contents or directories but no revisions.

So add support to browse such snapshots as previously they were flagged as empty when trying to display them.

Related to #4669 (closed)

This is the first part for properly supporting the browsing of such snapshots in swh-web.

The second diff on the subject will update the view for browsing the branches list of a snapshot by adding the target type of each branch (as in the releases list view) and generating proper links to browse those targetting contents or directories.

Migrated from D8807 (view on Phabricator)
