  Try to eliminate pipelines for branches and merges
  
  We want branches to run CI, but we don't want MRs on a branch to have
  two pipelines (one for the branch and one for the MR).
  
  Adjust the workflow rules so that the default branch rule is placed
  before the MR exclusion.  Branches still follow the
  `$CI_OPEN_MERGE_REQUESTS` guard to avoid duplicates once an MR is
  opened.
  
  The order of rules matters since it seems Gitlab evaluates them in
  order and stops at the first match.
