Missing URL-encoding for branches.

Description

When on a branch that includes character that require url-encoding, they don't get encoded when opening the repo in a browser.

Expected Behavior vs Actual Behavior

E.g. on a branch like #1-this-is-my-first-issue the opened url should be something like

https://GITLAB_URL/NS/PROJECT/-/tree/%231-my-first-issue

Instead, the browser opens the un-encoded url

https://GITLAB_URL/NS/PROJECT/-/tree/#1-my-first-issue

and fails.

Possible Fix Url-encode the branch name. I haven't checked whether this also applies to issue names, mrs etc.

Steps to Reproduce

1. cd into a git repo.
2. Create a branch that includes a character that needs url-encoding such as #.
3. Run glab repo view --web.
4. See error
