Problem to solve

Following the proposal in https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/5022, there's also a need for an empty state in the branches page for projects when the repository is an empty repository.

Proposal

Like the proposal in https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/5022:

A good first MVC (Minimum Viable Change) could be to reuse the same logic we've used in #4571 when searching members returns no members.
