Add --restrict-branch-creation and --only-restrict-creation to apply an additive nsls2-restrict-branch-creation ruleset targeting ~ALL branches, blocking creation of names outside --exclude-branches (default main,preview; fnmatch, auto-prefixed refs/heads/). Validate --approvers team via API before applying (GitHub silently ignores unknown dismissal teams; requires read:org scope). Guard against empty --exclude-branches patterns. Document exit codes accurately. Rebased onto current main; conflict resolution preserved bash>=4 guard from ad7eca9 and pemdecompose row from upstream.
