Grant GitHub Apps push access to protected branches

The Protected Branches API now allows you to grant GitHub Apps push access to protected branches.

You can only grant GitHub Apps push access to a protected branch if they have been installed with the repository contents write permission.

The Protected Branches API now includes the following endpoints:

• GET /repos/:owner/:repo/branches/:branch/protection/restrictions/apps
• PUT /repos/:owner/:repo/branches/:branch/protection/restrictions/apps
• POST /repos/:owner/:repo/branches/:branch/protection/restrictions/apps
• DELETE /repos/:owner/:repo/branches/:branch/protection/restrictions/apps

The existing endpoint to set branch protection now accepts app restrictions:

• PUT /repos/:owner/:repo/branches/:branch/protection
