[JENKINS-61390] Filtering out branches also affects MR visibility

Within project -> Filter by name (with regular expression) -> '^(develop|master).*' removes all MR from Merge Requests tab which is completely counterintuitive (MRs should not be affected by branch filters IMHO).

Workaround: add catching '^MR-\d+$' to the regex, e. g. '^(develop|master|MR).*'
