Switch/filter branches/tags is case-sensitive

Body

I often visit https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/ on Safari iOS and I generally want to switch to the master branch instead of viewing the stable branch.

As iOS capitalises the first letter, I start searching for Master instead which brings up no results.

I think the branch search should be case-insensitive as I imagine it's rare for repositories to have camelCases or similar of the same branch name multiple times.

there is no reason that a branch filter should be case sensitive - very annoying to have to know the case of a branch that someone else created or was perhaps created by an integration like ClickUp

a one-line fix that would make this feature better

This is the same when running workflows manually against a particular branch through the UI. Very annoying.

It's honestly mind-boggling that this has not been fixed to this day.
