TUI: handle a branch becoming unusable mid-session #176
Description
nsc tui checks the branch once before launch (_require_usable_branch, nsc/cli/tui_commands.py:55). If the branch is merged or deleted while the TUI is open, later requests fail with plain HTTP errors from the server. Screens show these as generic errors and never point to the branch state. Low risk, because resolution happens once and nothing falls back to main.
Fix: map branch-state HTTP errors (400 from the branching middleware) to a clear 'branch X is no longer usable' message in the TUI.
Deferred minor from the final review of #167 (NetBox Branching, #166).
