Open Pipeline Editor on current branch when previewing CI config file

Frédéric Caplette requested to merge 342018-when-working-on-a-feature-branch-pipeline-editor-should-open-gitlab-ci-yml-on-that-branch into master

What does this MR do and why?

When previewing a gitlab config file in the repository view, you can click on the "Pipeline Editor" button to open it in the Pipeline editor section. If you were previewing the file in a branch other than main, then it would not carry over when landing in the section. This MR changes that.
