When creating branch from the UI, select the default branch as source

[nopcoder]

On create a new branch, the source branch default value should select the repository default branch

@nopcoder Hey. I ran on my local and observed the issue. I think this is where we need work:

lakeFS/webui/src/components/BranchesPage.js

Line 29 in bc2d841

const [selectedBranch, setSelectedBranch] = useState(null);

We need to pass the value of the default branch name as an initial value to useState hook instead of null or some other way by which we update "selected" to the default branch, as soon as branches load in the following section:

lakeFS/webui/src/components/RefDropdown.js

Line 174 in bc2d841

const RefDropdown = ({ repo, selected, selectRef, onCancel, prefix = '', emptyText = '', withCommits = true, withWorkspace = true }) => {

I would like to work on this. I have experience in React.
Can i take this up?
