Authorize user before creating/updating a protected branch.

1. This is a third line of defence (first in the view, second in the
   controller).

2. Duplicate the `API::Helpers.to_boolean` method in `BaseService`. The
   other alternative is to `include API::Helpers`, but this brings with it
   a number of other methods that might cause conflicts.

3. Return a 403 if authorization fails.
