BREAKING CHANGE: remove deprecated branch protect methods in favor of
the more complete Protected branches API.
Closes #821.
@max-wittig WDYT about removing this completely? Then people will stop getting confused about the two APIs like in #1355 and #821. The endpoint still technically works, but the GitLab API docs removed it ages ago and they point to the dedicated protected branches API now (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/branches.html#protect-repository-branch).
Last time we kept a deprecated endpoint (release via tags API) it bit us because GitLab then "silently" removed it. Just adding this to the list of breaking changes as the next scheduled job will trigger 3.0.0.
