New optional branch field, filled for all 90 drivers from the header of
each release notes PDF ("Release 615 Driver for Windows, Version 617.42"
is R615). The validator checks its format and that a branch isn't newer
than the version.
Driver pages and the latest driver show the branch next to the channel,
the drivers table has a branch column and search finds a branch by its
name (R615). Bug pages list the branch of every driver the bug appears
in, and say when it spans more than one. Methodology explains where the
branch comes from.
Requested in #7.
New optional fields, filled for all 90 drivers:
- branch, from the header of each release notes PDF ("Release 615
Driver for Windows, Version 617.42" is R615)
- build_branch
The validator checks both formats and that they fit the version.
Driver pages and the latest driver show both next to the channel, the
build branch in its own color. The drivers table has a branch column and
search finds a branch (R615) or a build branch (r617_07, r617_07-22).
Bug pages list both for every driver the bug appears in, and say how
many branches it spans. Methodology explains where each comes from.

Closes #7.
Adds two optional fields to every driver, both filled for all 90 drivers from official NVIDIA files:
branch: the release branch from the header of each release notes PDF. "Release 615 Driver for Windows, Version 617.42" is R615.build_branch: the build branch stored in the driver itself, inDisplay.Driver/nvlddmkm.sysinside each official installer, right after the version ("617.42 ... r617_07-22 ... RELEASE").On the site
One release branch holds several build branches, and a driver sometimes comes from an older build branch than the one before it. For example, 531.61 and 531.79 were built from r530_00, after 531.41 came from r531_37.
