Introduces a new context menu item allowing users to view the current branch on GitHub if an upstream remote is set. Implements the handler in BranchDropdown and updates the context menu item generation logic.
Renamed onViewBranchOnGithub to onViewBranchOnGitHub for consistency and to fix a typo in the branch dropdown component.
Simplified variable usage in onViewBranchOnGitHub by directly accessing props and removing redundant assignments.

Removed redundant assignment of the 'url' variable in the BranchDropdown component to ensure only the correct URL is used when opening a branch in the browser.

Closes #21071
Description
I added the ability to open the branch on GitHub if it exists on the remote. I accomplished this by crafting a URL with parameters retrieved from the repository. This was the solution I came up with to craft this URL; however, if you know of a better way, let me know!
Additionally, I conditionally render the context menu based on whether the remote name variable exists. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this, either, but it seems to work. Please let me know if there is an easier variable I can check.
